Wow. It's been 10 years and I can still feel your presence and also hear your voice to this day. I'm 65 this year and have started having some health issues with my body. I miss you and all the family that has passed before me, but you all are lucky not to be here during these troubling times we are having in the world today. It's been a crazy year and I can just hear the talks we'd be having. Your family misses you and loves you so much. John has grown up into a respectable young father which I know you would love and probably can see. Shannon and her girls are doing great and growing like weeds. Shelley is doing great from all I read on FB and so is Steven and the extended family. Love and miss you! Debbie

Even though it's been a few years since you were with us I still can hear your voice and remember all the talks we had over the years and all the love we shared. I miss you, but know I will see you again one day and that my heart swells with love. I love you Jo Ellen and will never forget you.

I sure miss Jo Ellen. We would talk on the phone for hours after I moved to So Cal. She always talked about her family and how much they drove her crazy, but how deeply she loved them all. She shared memories of John and Shannons births and how her love for them went above and beyond anything that she had experienced other than the births of Shelley, Steven and his twin sister who unfortunately did not live. She was an awesome fun loving person. Full of Piss and vinegar when needed, but also loving and caring to a fault. I miss you Jo Ellen, but I know one day soon I will see you and all the rest of our family. I love you.

Steven and Shelly, no words can express how sorry I'm am at the loss of your Mom. How I wish I could have been there for you, but you know my thoughts and prayers are with you. These weeks and months ahead are gonna be rough, so try not to dwell on your loss but your many wonderful memories you have. Remember all the good times and the laughter she brought into your life and all those she came in contact with. She was a special lady and I will never forget her. She accepted me as part of the family and I will always be greatful for that. Pick out the most special memory you have and use it to get you through the sad lonely times. Your mom raised two wonderful children and I love you both. Don't forget I'm just a phone call away.
Love Susan

How sad to lost someone so sweet and good. I have not seen her for a few years but I still remember our fun times at the Barrel and even GE and QVC. We had so much when Frank and Jim lived together. God bless all of you

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. She has lived across the street from mom for so long, it's going to feel so weird with her not being there. May God be with the family at this time. Love you all. Anna
