I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so glad I got to meet and talk with Jo Ann at the Bourriague Family Reunion and I'm glad she got to see so many of her family members, too. Will keep all of you in my prayers.

What a great big sister she was. I loved her to death. Sometimes we had disagreements but who didn't? We shared the love of many people and things. One was our love for Cameron Parish.... Rest in Peace my sister. I will see you again... Edie
