Sending heartfelt prayers for your loss. I have such fond memories of Jo getting into the Christmas spirit wearing bells and a Santa's hat. She was a special lady.

Jeanne, Robert, Anne, and families,
Our hearts go out to you filled with loving memories and thanksgiving for the gift of Jo in our lives. I think the last time we saw her she was wearing jingle bells and had antlers on her head! Good times!
Our hearts ache for your loss but rejoice for Jo for we know she's at peace in heaven. Do you suppose the angels are singing opera for her?
Our love and prayers,
Denise, Chris and family
