Dear Don and Family,

We were so surprised to hear about Jo. We did not know she had been ill, so it was a real shock. Jo is the center of Class of 1953, and I thought we would all be gone before her. She will be so missed, but we all know her relationship with her Lord, and that has to be a great comfort. You are in our prayers.

With our sympathy,

Bob & Carol
