Dear Charlie and Family,

We are praying for peace and comfort in your lives. Although I didn't know your mother, she must have been a wonderful, strong woman. Take care of yourselves.

Jo was truly one of a kind! A kind, funny, gracious lady who brought class, compassion and good cheer to all she touched. Her life passes all tests for a genuine celebration for she lived it with such verve and love.
Heaven is a better place with Jo there.

I cherish the wonderful memories of you in your camouflage dress at all the parades and ceremonies held at Fort Lewis during Gen Harrison's tenure there, and for which I was responsible for. Your presence at all of these ceremonies gave meaning to "Support the Troops." Rest in Peace.

We remember, fondly, all of our wonderful times at Ft. Bragg and our visits in Washington. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Sarah and Jim

May the good Lord watch over you and your family as we all feel a deep sense of loss over a person who brought love and joy to all she met. She was such a positive force that even the mention of her name brings a smile as we remember her warm, outgoing and lovely manner. She will be missed.
