I remember her as a great lady and excellent teacher. She was my second grade teacher. I remember so much from her classes, especially Bible Lessons.

Ila Belle and Ford, your family has a special place in my memory. The Underwood store in Sprague Junction owned by Sister Jo's parents is clearly among my earliest memories from the the mid 1940's. I remember your mother teaching my Sunday school class at Ramer, AL, Church of Christ at various times between 1944 and 1954. Your dad's parents spent many hours in our county store in Ramer... your grandpa was a great story teller. Your parents were the major reason my family moved from Montgomery county, Alabama, to Nashville, TN in 1955. I mourn your loss and wanted to add my name to the many who would want to celebrate the lives of Jo and Edsel. We invite you to visit us here in Florida. God's peace and love to you.

Ford and Ila, so sorry for your loss. Bro Holman preached at Bethlehem TXR in the 60's. You were both young then as I was but sure you still remember. Your mom was such a lovely and elegant lady. Ford has come back a time or two. Would love to see you both again. Loving memories.

Jo was my second-grade teacher at Lipscomb Elementary in 1947-8. I knew her for many years after that. She was delightful.
