Dennis and Greg,

Like my dad said, I do not have the words to help you with the pain of your loss. I also agree with him that anyone who came into contact with Jo Anne was completely blessed to have been a part of her life. She was an amazing woman that words cannot describe. I didn't get to spend a lot of time with her during her stay here on this earth, but what time I DID get to spend with her I will always treasure and remember. She was truly a one of kind funny, happy, and smart woman. She always made me smile and laugh and she always made me feel at home and happy and I will always think of her fondly. She will be greatly missed, but rest assured that she will never be forgotten by those of us who loved her. We loved her and we love you too. Our thoughts and prayers are there with you from across the miles.

With Love,
Shanna Morris and Jason Weinsteiger

Dennis and Greg, We are truly sorry that Jo's life ended like this. You know what a special place she had in our hearts, as well as you both. Even though many miles separated us we were always in each others conversations and thoughts. She was unique and will be missed by all of us forever. There can never be another "GO ANN".
