Sorry for your loss.We are praying for the family.We know it’s and earthly loss but a Heavenly gain.
The loss of a loved one always brings forth so many fond memories you have shared. I will always remember Christmas time at Aunt Jo and Uncle’s. I always remember sitting around the table and the massive Christmas tree that was so beautiful. Everytime we would go to Aunt Jo and Uncle’s house there always seemed to be a history lesson and I remeber getting to know what my Daddy was like as a child. Those are very fond memories that I will always hold near and dear. Aunt Jo, you will be missed. I know Heaven has another Angel that will be lining those pearly gates to greet all of us when we make it there. God Bless You! We Love You!
Uncle Leo, Josie and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you. Obviously Aunt Jo touched many lives and will be missed. God Bless, Patrick Burke
Dear Leo,
I am sorry for your lost. I know Josie was your sister but she was your right arm. Up until the last few years I never saw you without seeing Josie with you. I always enjoyed taking her side and giving you a hard time. She will be missed by everyone.
