Rosie, I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Jo and Uncle Charlie were so dear and so very classy! She was the epitome of a lady. They were so nice and fun on the Italy trip, I am grateful for that memory!

I often sat next to Charlie and Jo at Mass on Sundays and she was always interested in my college stories, grades, etc. They were an awesome couple. I'm happy they are together again. Prayers to her sister and family. Debbie

Rosie, I'm very sorry to hear about your sister. May God strengthen you during this time of loss. Much love to you and your family.

While Jo was in the hospital and at the rehab center, I missed looking out my patio door and waving at her in her bedroom window. I shall also miss the frequent phone calls and visits. Joe and I have fond memories of the little vacation with Charlie and Jo in Gatlinburg, Tenn. and surrounding areas a few years ago. She was a great friend and neighbor. We are so sorry for your loss (and ours).
