    Jan, Mike and Mary, so sorry to hear of your mom,s passing. I remember her fondly from the Coronado Road days. from reading the obituary she has a nice family legacy to pass along. As I recall she was always a happy positive person. I’m sure she lived her whole life that way and was a source of great joy to you and all the family.

    Gail and I won’t be able to attend the Services, but we want to express our sincere condolences and prayers for you and your family.

    Jan, Mike, Mary and Family,

    I cannot express fully my appreciation for what Grams(Jo) meant to me. As a child some of my fondest memories occurred with and around Grams and her home. Whether it was a Halloween brew being cooked up, a nighttime fire in the back, a college football pool, or playing cards in the living room, everyone was always welcome. I loved the time I got to spend around her and Gramps. Both of them made a positive impact on my life and many more I’m sure.

    Although Grams may be gone physically, her kindness towards others is the gift that will stand the test of time, through your family and mine. She will forever have a place in my heart.

    Thoughts and prayers,
