Jesse and Jennifer and family - We are so sorry to hear of your loss. JoAnn was a wonderful person. Even though we have not seen her in years, we have fond memories of when we were all members at Salado Baptist Church and her sweet Aunt, Ms. Opal was there as well. Thinking of you and praying for comfort in this tough time.
