Jo will be missed. Our families had many good times together. She was my sister-in-law, but more like a sister and good friend.

Saw Jo when I went to see Donna after ERHS 50th Reunion festivities. Jo’s eyes twinkled just like when as a little girl, I crossed the road at my Grandmother Brown’s to get an ice cream cone at the Kluttz family store. Jo was gifted as a caretaker,providing loving care for my grandmother, and will always be held in the highest esteem. Peace be with Donna, Austin & Victoria this Holiday Season.

Dear Eagle family,
I am sorry for your pain, and loss.
You can find real comfort in what God has promised, such as in John 5:28,29 -He promises that he is going to resurrect all those who have ever died, back to life again here on earth. And all the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever. You can read about this in Revelation 21:3,4, and 1 Corinthians 15:26.
