    It’s always tough to lose Mom, but remember the good times and know that she is with Dad and Jesus! You are all in my prayers.

    Dear Family,
    Both your patents were fun to be with and know. Every weekend they came to the old Plaza on 12th to eat, i was the manager then,
    And your mother was a bright star. I really lived both of them. Mel and his brother dud a lot of work forvmy mother then, all seems like yesterday too.
    God bless her soul.

    I absolutely loved Jo…….I used to work at Bickford and looked forward to seeing her every morning. She was definitely one of my favorite residents. So very sorry for your loss❤️

    I cleaned your mothers condo out at Lakeridge in Quincy.
    She was a joy to work for, always a smile and her infectious laugh.
    I loved her dearly!
    My deepest sympathy for the family.
