Dearest Josie, we will remember you with love and affection for the wonderful friendship and hospitality you extended to our family when we visited from Australia in 1986. You embraced us as part of the Klecko family which had been lost and distanced. You also gave love and support during our stay when my father died back home and your extraordinary faith was a strength and blessing. Thank you for being part of our lives for a short while. May the Lord keep you in His tender care and mercy. Our deepest sympathy to the four children and to all the family. Rest in Peace. Viechnya Pamyatch.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your beloved Mother. I admired Jo from the first time I met her! (at church) She must have been talking about a home remodeling project she was working on because from that time on I pictured her as Rosie the Riveter! I will always remember her as a strong person.... Strong in her "handyman" skills, Strong in her sense of humor and Strong in her Faith! I wish I had another chance to laugh with her. I will miss her.

a loved one
