...My grandmother took the time to pray for each and every one of us (her family) daily and especially on sundays..., regardless of one's religious views I used to think just what an exemplary catholic she was..., she embodied just what religion and spirituality should be about selfless love for her family and others..., all she ever wanted in her daily prayers was for each and everyone of her family members to be truly happy and to love each other unconditionally..., she truly was one of the noblest souls I have ever known,,, I so miss her..

The world will miss Jo. She was my neighbor for 13 wonderful years, and I loved her dearly. Without fail, and on every occasion, she brought a smile to my face, and joy to my heart. May God, Himself, grant her family and friends comfort during this exceptionally trying time. They just don't make people like her anymore. I count myself as privileged to have known her, and to call her a friend.
