Mel and Family,

Dear Mel and Family,
We were so shocked to hear of Jo Ann's accident. I enjoyed working with her at PR for almost ten years. She was such a kind, cheerful and loving person. She will be missed by many. May you all experience the Peace and
comfort that only comes from our Heavenly Father. You have been in our prayers. In Christian Love, Tom and Gwen Weeber.
