Not sure what to say?

Momma Jo, There are no words to express the love we all had for you. I miss you greatly but will take your advise and love for God and pass it on to my children. We had some good times traveling and singing for the lord, and stopping at Cracker Barrel and Waffle House. I will always have the best memories of you. Love your granddaughter, Shelley

We will miss you, but PTL we look forward to being with you in the land we are looking upward.

I met Dorothy Jo thru her best friend carolyn sadler a few years back and knew she loved the Lord. She sure could write some great songs. My favorite was "I See God" and now she truly does. My family and I send our well wishes to the family. I'm sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye. One day we'll say hello instead.

I meet Dorothy Jo at Bro. Howard Dailey's church in Cookeville TN about 12 years ago. She was a wonderful lady who loved the lord and love to sing. It was in one of her services that I was saved. She will always hold a special place in my heart all of those that ever knew her.
