Sweet slumbers, Aunt, Jo, the "Queen of All Aunts." May Jesus embrace you and usher you into his Kingdom even as you took so many children into your heart and touched their lives with love. We will always remember you fondly,

When Aunt Jo was a young teen, her family's phone number spelled H E A V E N. (Phone numbers were 6 digits back then). Her picture appeared in the Times Picayune with a special interest story "Call Heaven and get an Angel." Now Heaven has its very special Angel. Rest in Peace Aunt Jo.
