Phil,

Having experienced a similar loss, I empathize with you and your siblings at this time. While I did not have the pleasure of knowing your mom. I have certainly come to know her son, she done good!

I join with you in celebrating your mother’s life. A time of tears and mostly a time of reflection for the privilege of love and the future it has given you and your siblings. May you find strength in the many wonderful memories.

In sympathy,

Tom Hall

Phil: It has been over 45 years since I saw you but I remember your dad and mom especially your mom at the polls at St. Paul UMC. Mrs. Jo was always happy and kind every time I saw her. These are the memories that we all treasure. You are in my prayers my friend. Jimmy Pritchett, Little Rock, AR

Dear Young family,

We were sorry to hear of your mother's passing. We're so glad we got to meet her--even briefly--when we moved in across the street from her a few years ago. She seemed like a very sweet lady who loved tending to her garden. Please know that we will be thinking of you, and hope you can find peace and comfort during a sad time.

Dan, Susan, and Daniel

Nancy, Pam & Phil -

Ray and I were saddened this morning to see the news of your mother's passing. We always enjoyed Jo so much and have missed her since she had to move and could no longer attend church.

She loved you kids and spoke of you so much.

We will be unable to attend the service but please know all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ray & Linda Camp
