Jo Ann I can never thank you enough for the kindness you showed me in school. I was just a obnoxious kid who ment well and was always up way to early to school. Y'all put me to work and ended up helping me and my mom offset the cost of my meals (for which I will always be great full) y'all also showed me how to have a routine and some discipline. Without you and the other fine ladies at AMS I prolly wouldn't be the hard working navy guy I am today. You were truly a great woman and will be...

Jo Ann was a wonderful family friend, more family to my family than just friends. I have so many memories of her over the 51 years of my life. She was always so sweet and kind to everyone. She had a beautiful smile and a beautiful heart. I am going to miss her. Prayers to her family.

What a wonderful lady. I was in elementary school at Van Y in 1976 and she was my introduction to the cafeteria as a first grader. Mrs Moore helped me get my tray, and took and helped me find a seat to eat. When I was done and it was time to line up and go back to class she helped me find my class line. Everyday for a week or so she kept her eye on me like a mother would to make sure all was ok for me as well as the other kids. Years later at the Jr High school I told who I was and thanked...
