Brenda & Steve,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I remember so well the good times my wife and I had with your parents. Wayne was probably the most trusted friend I ever had and I was closer to him than my own brothers. I remember JoAnn as caring, considerate and oh, so patient with yahoos like me, Wayne and your uncle Don. I write this with tears in my eyes as I remember the old days when we were young and bulletproof. May God bless you and yours during this time of grief. I pray that I will be able to be with you on Saturday.

May God Bless all of you. Aunt Jo had such a sweet spirit. She will be sorely missed. I have many fond memories of her; her contagious laugh, her quick wit, her positive outlook on life, and an ability to find the best in everyone. My time with her in my everyday life was not as long as I would have liked it to be, but I was definitely impacted by her love. She was a dedicated and loving Wife, Mother, Aunt, Grandmother, and Friend to many. She has gone before us to be with the others in Heaven, where there is no pain or suffering. I will hold all of you in my prayers. Love All of You, Debby McGrath
