Not sure what to say?

What a sweet woman. Dave and I were buds in 4th grade, and I slept over once in a while. Jo (Mrs. Abel to me) was the perfect host, and she invested a lot of love in her family, love that extended even to her kid's friends. My very best wishes and warmest regards to the Abel family and to all who loved Jo. My mom passed in 2010, and I still miss her very much.

Don, Joe, Jimmy, Bonnie and David you have my most heartfelt condolences in your loss and my thanks to Jo and your dad for many happy memories. Hope there are a lot of Salmon in Heaven cause I know the folks will be doing some fishing.
Best Wishes,
Ken Osage & family

My sisters and I delivered newspapers to Mrs. Abel in the late '60's and she would give out ice cream bars on warm days! At Halloween, we would climb all the way up the hill because she made the best popcorn balls. I'll always cherish her kindness.

Bonnie, I so remember your mother from sleepover days in the 60's. I know her lessons and memories will live on forever in your heart and through your extended family.

My Dad did business with Don and the family....such a connection in the area of Juneau....sorry for your loss..

My condolences to the Able family. My father once told me. Son. There will come a time in your life when you will realize that no one will ever love you like your mother does. He was right. Rest in peace Josephine Abel. You raised a beautiful family.

I held your mother in high and affectionate regard and was honored to share my birthdate with her. I am sorry to say good by to her and I am very sorry you had to do the same. Take care...

So sorry for your loss, Don & Lois.

Our sympathies are with all of you.
