Uncle Ronnie, Monica and Rhonda
You’ll are in our prayers. Heaven has gained a precious angel. Aunt Jo was so special to us. We loved her dearly. I’m so sorry we could not be there. I pray you’ll find peace and comfort in the days ahead. She will be missed so much.
Love to you’ll and all the family.
Greg and Jo Anne
