Our hearts ache with yours today. Jo was dear to me and I often talked with her while she was at Rivers Edge. Often we shared our love for Tommy, II. His death brought us even closer. I am so happy they are together again and that Jo is not suffering any more. She was a brave soldier for Jesus and now she has her reward. I'll miss talking with her but the only way I would want her back is for her to be pain free. Tommy, Whit, girls and Beth be sure that our thoughts and prayers are with you today. God bless and just always remember the wonderful things Mom and Dad taught you and through the years you will be Mon and Dad to all that you come in contact with. We pray for you God's peace that passeth understanding. Because Jo and I often shared our faith in Christ over the past years, I know how much she trusted Jesus and I thank God for that wonderful experience with her. The Good Lord bless and keep you all and make his face to shine upon you. Our deepest love. Sunt Ida Ray & Uncle Walter
