Family,
Reading this obituary online has confirmed in my mind, what my heart already knew, Jo is really gone. I am so thankful for all that I was able to learn from JoAnn. She truly is an angel. Part of our healing process will be to come together and remember her always. Those of you who are there, spend time together sharing memories,praying, laughing, and enjoying each other.Though Jo could not walk, or hold a verbal conversation, she spoke volumes through her heart and her eyes. Follow JoAnn's lead, don't let a day go by without expressing your feelings to a loved one. Although I am not there with you all today, you know my heart is filled with love for each and every one of you. God chose you all for me and I love you dearly. We will get through this. As God calls us home one by one, our chain will link again. Be encouraged today and always.Farewell my sweet JoAnn, until we meet again.I love you always.

sincerely,
Your Cousin
