Aunt Jo, you will certainly be missed. We love you very much, I am happy that you will be with Uncle Bob. My fondest memories are camping with you in your motor home. Reading Greg's comic books, sleeping over at your house when I could not sleep at Grandma Baily's because she had too many cats. You were always the rock that held the family together. Always attending family functions and I am so very thankful that we were able to spend time toghether this summer in California for Katies graduation. You were always my favorite Aunt. I love you and miss you, but I am certain I will see you again!

Nana will be extremely missed by us all. She was the glue, at least for me that kept me in touch with this side of my family. She would have given or done anything for anyone she was a very loving and amazing woman."She will be a huge loss to the world,but great gain to the heavens".

For as long as I can remember, Aunt Jo took pride in her family and was one of my brother's and my main link to our extensive list of relatives. Whether it was Christmas breakfasts at her house, summer camping trips at Priest Lake, or road trips to California, Joanne included us. I'm so glad we were able to celebrate her 80th birthday with her recently. It was very rare that she didn't attend a family function that she was invited to. I've always appreciated her influence on our family and will miss her dearly.
