We loved going to Aunt Jo´s and Uncle Clarence´s farm. Always had fun singing along with the family members playing their musical instruments. They all were very talented. The green house was so beautiful to go through. Aunt Jo had a very special green thumb.
With deepest sympathy and love for Junior, Debbie, Tammi and Becky.
Rest in Peace Aunt Jo. Love you,
Pat (Grissom) Parnell and Bertha (Grissom) Ketchum and families.
