Jo Anne was always a quiet and loving presence each time I saw her. Clay was in second grade at that time. Years later, at Clay's wedding, she was that same calm and sweet person. I know she will be missed.

I loved driving up and seeing her walking around outside. She reminded me so much of my mother in law and grandmother. So Sweet and soft spoken. She loved to talk and she made me feel like I´d known her for years. Such a precious lady.
