Not sure what to say?

Anne and I were saddened to learn of Dan's passing. I reported to Dan at Columbia Gas System for a number of years, and he was a great legal mind, and a true gentleman. When I traveled to Wilmington, DE, I often stayed with Dan and Mary Ann, and had many wonderful memories in their lovely home. And when Dan and Mary Ann retired to Johns Island, Anne and I would often visit for lunch at the beach club. Dan Bell hired many attorneys at Columbia Gas, and a number of them went on to become...

I did not know of your passing!!! Somehow I was led to your site showing fresh flowers and a small sign with your name. I was just walking and saw this unbelievable sight. Not knowing of your illness, made it even harder to believe. Our past lives would fill a book with stories of many-many little children. Losing time together but never out of my brain and heart. Treasured past adding to my fondest memories. Loving you and your whole family.

JoAnn Schlitt left a tremendous legacy of giving and loving that will live on in the hundreds of lives she touched. The world is a better place because she lived. Thank you, Jo Ann.

She fed me black beans and rice too many times to count. I cannot wrap my head around the number of sequins she sewed onto the ballet costumes I wore.

Thoughts and prayers to the Schlitt family! I would like to think that mom (Ollie Crosby Willmot) was there to greet her dear friend when she arrived at the Pearly Gates.

I didn't know you, I see by the posts that it was my lose. My sympathy to everyone who loved this great lady.

Taylor, My condolences to you and all your family. What an amazing person your grandmother was and a beautiful life she led. So many wonderful stories, help and guidance she gave and so many peoples life she touched. Everyone was blessed to have her in their lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Bob and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Jo Ann was a longtime friend, growing up and being classmates in Miami, being her bridesmaid, and catching up on our visits over the years. She will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

Sending love and peace to all. I am grateful for the time that I spent with JoAnn and I am a better person for having been one of the many beneficiaries of her love and wisdom.
