Thinking of you JoJo, what a beautiful soul, creative, kind...
independent and strong
Think of you and your family often...growing up across the street from you. Remember meeting you at the Giant, you had your firstborn son with you, and I remember saying to you, "he´s so cute", big brown eyes like you.
God bless your family!

Our sincerest sympathy to you frank, Shane and Troy

To Frank, Shane & Troy... my heart breaks for you and all of us who have lost a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. I will never forget the years we had together, the birth of Shane & Troy, our kids playing together, cooking, pulling pig for pig roasts, meeting at Thursdays, the trip to Nags Head, but most of all I will miss her hugs and kisses. No matter if she just saw you the day before, you were always greeted with such love. Rest now my friend and know that you were so loved and will be missed forever. I also ask God to care for your family and comfort them with the warm memories of your spirit and love.
