So sorry for your loss. I know her heavenly rewards are there waiting on her. I wish we could have seen this part of the family more. Anne and I did visit St James cemetery this spring to be reminded of the Eisenhower legacy.
Comfort in this time of sorrow.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of “Miss Jo” Mom and I very much enjoyed receiving her Christmas letter telling us how family is and has grown. She was a wonderful lady with a big heart. May all the memories you made and shared stay in your hearts forever.

Farewell to a lady who always treated me with love and kindness in the short time I had the privilege of knowing her.

She truly was a remarkable woman and the beauty in her heart always shown through that big smile of hers. I met her the first Sunday I went to First Methodist Church of Denham Springs and every week she said hello and welcome to us. Always looked like she had been dressed by a designer. She will be sorely missed. I’m so glad I got to see her on her 90th birthday and wish her well.
