Reuben, I look back often on the last dinner date we had and how we shared memories, the four of us. Jo and I had some great memories, growing up on Mimosa. Then being big cards buddies when you guys moved back down the street. Jo will always be remembered as a best forever friend. If you return to visit, please contact us. We love you and cherish our friendship. Janet and Tommy

Jo...You were always so sweet to me, Will and the kids. Though we didn't live close, I always enjoyed our visits and the holidays we spent together. I always admired your crafting skills and all of the beautiful doll clothes you sewed. Your heart was big and your soul was good. I'm sorry you suffered these last few years, but, I hope you are resting now in Heaven and at peace. I love you and will miss you and I will hold on to all of the good memories I have with you. ❤️ To Reuben, David, Terri, Angela, Anita, Chrystal and Natalie.... My deepest condolences to all of you on your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers for The Lord's comfort and peace. 🙏

My mom was literal ray of sunshine. There is never going to be a woman higher than my mom. She loved with her whole heart, smiled with her eyes and laughed with her soul. I would do anything to have more time with her. You are everything moma! I love you so much and now you are my angel.

Angela Reynolds

I will never forget Jo. We almost shared the same birthdate in Dec. We shared the same precious granddaughters. We corresponded during some pretty tough times for her and I have two necklaces that she gave me and I cherish. One a small gold heart with yellow rinestones and another with a gold heart that said I love you. The last time I saw her, I we exchanged the biggest of hugs.

Ms. Jo, you were always like a mom to me. No matter what I could always talk to you about anything and you would never judge me for it. You let me cry, vent, and laugh when my own would not allow. I will forever be grateful for you. I will miss you everyday and know how much you were loved and alway a will be loved!

Mrs Gegenheimer was a second mother to me. At a time in my life where I was experiencing a lot of rejection from my own mother she stepped in and welcomed me into her home and into her heart. She treated me like another daughter and I will always remember her sweet demeanor, lasagna, and brownies ❤️ May she rest in peace 🕊️

Mary

My Gigi was the best person to walk the planet earth , she loved her family with all her heart! She was sweet , sassy , loving women and I miss her everyday
