Hey Girl
I have done alot of thinking these passed few months wondering about you and your brother. These anniversaries, birthdays and holidays are the hardest it just seems like I've been run over by a truck when one comes and then I have to pick myself up and make myself all better again but its hard. Living life without 2/3 of your kids is hard I wasn't supposed to bury you or your brother I was supposed to go first. Just hard thats all. Well God has helped me through my darkest days and I know he will continue to do so and I thank God for The "I", Lex and Lil Rae and your Sis Keli I love them all so dearly. Well may you be the angel on their shoulds to protect them and keep them safe. Well give your brother a hug for me.
Love ya,
Mom

Just sitting here remembering days of old. Those memories you left me with are dear to my heart this month is going to be a year that you were taken from us. There is not a day that I don't think of you and your brother. I remember when you were little and I used to call you little grandma because you reminded me of my grandma Jessie thumbs and all. I am just sitting here thinking of you when you were a little girl and some of the things you told me. Jo I miss you so much I can't explain it. People say time will help maybe in time but right now I just want you and your brother here with me. I told Keli the other day as we were watching Little Rae I asked her aren't you mad at Jo she said yeah she should have been here helping us with Little Rae I guess that was selfish of us but gosh how I do wish you were here. I just thank God for all the memories you left me. Well give your brother Ed a hug for me.
Love,
Mom

Hi JoJo,
Got a text from your sister, worried about your mama, so I called her. She is having a terrible day, she misses you and your brother so much. I can't and don't want to imagine what she is feeling, all I can do is be there for her. You never realized what you meant to your mama, so sad to see your mom sad all the time. You and your brother are missed so much. Words can't explain. I wish I could hear you funky laugh and just hear you say watz up Tia. I miss you mija and will always carry you in my heart. Give my baby Raelene,your brother and grandma hugs and kisses for me. Watch over everyone and keep an eye on your mama and sis.

I don't think you really knew what and important part of our lives you were. We miss you so much and I can't get passed losing you it hurts so much Dad catches me crying and just gives me a hug and leaves me alone. And Tia Eileen helps me get through my bad days she helps alot and so does Doobie and Drea. And its hard I just don't want anyone to ever go through what I went through losing you and your brother I can truly say life will never ever be the same. I am surely not looking forward to the holidays if it weren't for Lex, Isaac, Seth and Ally I don't think I could go on but they help me so much I just wish they could all be together. Well take care give your big brother a hug and I will give your little sister a hug here for you.
Love you,

Hello everyone, just wanted to let you know I'm sorry I haven't been able to put more pictures on Jo's website. It's really hard to work on it. I did update some pictures on the page. If anyone would like to share pictures stories or anything please email me. [email protected] Here is the link to her website http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/JoannaRayLopez/Homepage.aspx. I will be changing the song periodically to some of her favorite songs. There is 2 I really want everyone to hear. They are hip hop songs but they were her 2 favorites and they describe her so much one is called Ghetto by Akon, and the other is called I tried not sure who sings that one.
Thanks,

watz up jojo, i have to tell you i can't stop thinking about you. i told her mom that when her and keli go design your marker, for them not to forget to put a little doggy on it. we know all how much you loved dogs. i know you are in a better place but that still doesn't ease the pain, this is difficult, i always thought that us as parents were suppose to leave first not our kids. but, this isn't the case, God had other plans for you and i can't question him. at first when your mama told me i couldn't get the thought of how my pain or what you were think, but i know the Lord was with you and that is how i get thru this. your mama is so strong, i thank the Lord for being there for her. well give fred a big hug and kiss grandma for me, and like your space said every time i look to the sky and see how beautiful it is, i know it is because you and your brother, grandma too are shining for us. love you baby girl.

Well JOJO I have to say it is going to be a hard one this 4th of July coming up .....Seems like it was just yesterday you were at my house dancing in the street with the sparklers. Everyone is going to your moms house this year for the 4th. This last weekend it was hot outside and a lot of us went to church with your mama and she is still singing for the Lord. Grandma,you and Ed need to keep a good eye on your Mom its a really tuff time for her. We here will do all we can do to give her our Love and support. Getting back to it being hot... Doobie and Michael were over on Sunday after church and a memory of you came up of when we all used to go swimming at Marios house and Doobie said remember when you guys knocked out my Tooth... And Jo nick named me Corn husk... That was so Funny I remembered I was like yea she said that cause your Smile looked like corn husk when your tooth got knocked out. Thats was so Funny. Well Jo Tell everyone up there with you we miss em. We all miss you so much. I write again... Love Uncle B.

I am so worried about you MaMa. I love her so much and wish I can ease her pain, I will be there for her no matter what(sister's forever) I love you mija and know you are truly loved< love you so and one day we will cross path again. until then watch over your mama, dad cal, sis, alayah rae, iman, seth and lexie love and the rest of the family.

Ralph and your wife have my deepest sincere deepest sympathy. The lost of a son or daughter is such a hurt, I know the feeling. The only thing is to remember now is that they are only away, and you will meet each other again. Ralph I have never met your wife, but you can tell her who I am and how long you have known me.
Again just keep in mind the happy times you did have and that dose help some.
