Not sure what to say?

Aunt Jo you will always hold a special place in my heart - many wonderful memories. Rest in Peace I love you!

We were neighbors at Chatham Woods and always had a great time with your mom at all our parties. She always looked very stylish with her cool clothes, shoes, and hair. We know these past few years have been tough but you sure have good memories. Your are in our thoughts and prayers.

A great lady and a wonderful neighbor!

Although we were not lucky enough to personally meet her, we know Mrs. Schelling had to be a strong woman, with a big heart, and loved by all she touched, whether family or friend--virtues most definitely passed down to Diane, our Friend.
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers,and hope that your wonderful memories of her well-lived life help you in the days to come.

Steve, Suzanne, and the rest of the family, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and know that you now have a very secial guardian angel watching over you. GOD bless all of you and may he wrap his loving arms around you and lift you up during this difficult time. Love to all of you.
