Cindy, Kip & Mitchell -- I have such warm memories of childhood gatherings with your family,and since your folks introduced my parents they hold a special place in my heart.

Aunt Jo was the best! I remember how much she and Uncle Bob loved me:) They always made me feel like I was special, even after Mom passed and I lost touch with everyone for a long time. I really miss her, especially around Christmas, and our family Christmas Eve party. My love to Uncle Mitch, Uncle Kip and Aunt Cindy. You Mom was the best! I love you Aunt Jo and will miss you.

To Cindy, Kip, Mitch and all of the Roberts family, Jo Beth and I extend our condolences on the loss of your Mom. What I remember about your Mom is the vibrant, high energy, and wonderful Lady that she is. When she (and some of you kids) came into our grocery store, The Valley Store, she lit up the place with her warmth and friendly personality. Yes, I actually carried her groceries to her car on numerous occasions and always enjoyed seeing the newest model of the Chevrolet Impala from Roberts Chevrolet. Right now when I close my eyes and think of Mrs. Roberts, she is right there with that big wonderful smile. Beautiful person. If you close your eyes and think of her, she will always be there with you. God bless all of the Roberts Family.

Dear Cindy and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Jo. I knew her from Junior Service League. It was great to know her. It was exciting to read about her life history.

You have my deepest sympathy. May God bless the Bob Roberts Family.

My condolences to Cindy and your entire family on the loss of Jo. She was an awesome woman, always with a beautiful smile and a kind word. It saddens me to read that she and so many of those wonderful Edinburg Junior League ladies that I knew and loved have already left us. It saddens me to realize this is an end of an era. It was our gift to have them in our lives. Thanks for the wonderful recap of her fantastic life. I enjoyed reading it.
