Roger, Ryan & Buddy:
So glad we got a chance to visit with Jo Anne this summer at the party. She certainly gave a good fight and now is in a better place. We send our sincerest sympathy to the entire family. Still have a glass she painted for me during the "bowling days" with Ryan & Buddy. Seems like a long time ago and yet the time has disappeared quickly.

Jason and Luben,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Let God be with you both in your time of need. Time will heal the pain you must be feeling and the memories will always be with you of all the good times you had with your mother and grandmother.
Your friend from the past.

I will always remember you for all of the kindness that comes from your heart that you gave me as one of your "adopted boys". And I will always love you for that my 2nd mom.

Jo, the best friend I ever had and who can never be replaced in my heart. I know I'm not the only one who felt the same; you gave unconditionally to all. I hope you are finally getting to see the Grand Canyon on your way to Heaven.
Love you forever,
Faye

Jo Anne, I only new you in passing from Barb. But you were truly an inspiration and the courage you showed was tremendous. I am very sorry to the family, Roger and I hope we can remember her Courage.
