Dear family of Jo Rita please allow me to convey my deepest condolences. It is comforting to know that there will come a time when there will be no more sickness and death. Only rejoicing. What a wonderful time that will be and even more airstrip to know that we will get to experience this joy with our dead loved ones when they are resurrected. Rev. 21:4
My deepest prayers and condolences to all the family. Ricky Joe and Tracey, I love you guys!
Rita,Ricky,Alan and Tommy and all the families.My heart goes out to you.Jo was always very special to me.It was just a few weeks ago that we had our special meetings at Ingles. She was in such good spirits after being in the hospital and then in rehab. She always was telling me how good I looked even if I didn’t. She will certainly be missed, but we can be ready to go see her again. Let me know if I can be of any help,and I will surely be praying for all of you.
Holding you in God;s light with our thoughts and praises
