Not sure what to say?

Dear Jody, I am sorry for the loss of your mom. She lived a long and full life for which I´m sure you are thankful. I always remember your mom making trips to our classroom with whatever you needed (but didn´t have with you). She always did it with a smile on her face. You were blessed to have her.

Dear Jody: Just came across your mom's obituary and wanted to extend our sincere sympathy for your loss. May God bless your family, during this most difficult time.

JO WAS A DEAR FRIEND OF MY WIFE AND HAD A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON HER LIFE. THEY KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ONE ANOTHER AND I ALWAYS APPRECIATED HE WIT AND KINDNESS.

Joan was a wonderful Counselor at Rogers highschool. i graduated from there in 1983. she always had a big smile. i hope she may rest in peace

RIP beautiful lady.

Mrs. Presser was my gym teacher and was very nice. I ran into her a few years ago and we chatted a bit.

My sympathy to the family on the passing of Jo. She was a well respected colleague and always helpful to me, particularly in my early years of teaching. I have good memories of Jo at Rogers High School. She will be missed by many.

Jody, So sorry to read about your mother passing . She was always such a kind and up lifting person. She lived a long and great life. Hopefully, all the fond memories will help you through the difficult days ahead.
