Today marks one year since the passing of my dear sweet Momma. I miss her so much. I’m holding on to the wonderful memories that I have of her. I enjoyed traveling to visit with her. She and I would go shopping together. One of her favorite places to go was Tuesday Morning. Momma I know you are with God’s angels. I love you so much and I miss you intensely.  My sweet girl.❤️💕

To family of Jo,
Absence is forever remembered for our loved ones, but God grant us new strength, and mercies every day.
Love, Joy & Peace
Elizabeth Hayes,

Jo was one of the sweetest people I know and she had such a kind spirit. I met her years  ago through her daughter Van, my dear friend. 
Jo and I became friends in later years, in the realm of Mary Kay world. I enjoyed my travels with Jo and had a many of laughs with her. She would keep me in stitches. 
She could be so funny. 
I would visit Jo on occasions and she Always welcomed me with that big smile of hers and that enthusiasm in her voice Regina! Get in here and we would laugh out loud every time or if it had been a while since I visited she would call and leave a message Regina! where are you. I Haven’t heard from you. I loved her messages. I could see that  big smile of hers and hear the laughter. Jo was pretty feisty. 
I have so many fun memories of Jo. 
I will miss you Jo. You will always be in my 
Heart. Rest In Peace.
❤️  Regina Williams




What can I say about my mother-n-law? Most affectionately known as Joe; however, I referred to her as "G" short for "G-mamma".  Of the many memories I have of her, it was the smile and the infectious personality that was so attractive. Boy could she light up a room and make you feel so welcome. We shared so many laughs and jokes that are too numerous to count. I'll always cherish the times spent with her and the love she had for her family. She loved her grandchildren and trusted me to care for her daughter. I couldn't have scripted a better mother-n-law. Although, you have transitioned to be with the most high you will always be loved and remembered. 🙏🏿

I have so many wonderful memories of Josephine. We use to live next door to each other. We raised our kids together during their early years.  I remember when Jo was in rehab for her hip years ago, she called me in the middle of the night and said someone was bothering her. I got out of my bed and drove to Siskin to check on her. All was well. I think she had a nightmare. We were very close.  I added a picture from her 84th Birthday celebration.   I miss her so much. I love you Jo. ❤️

It has been a pleasure to have met your mother. She was my friend that I spent many hours laughing, talking, and traveling in the MK arena. Knowing your mother I met many people  one in particular that I will not mention her name because she has passed on to the other side. Your mother bet me $1 that this person would order a meal and create a bigger meal. Example water with extra lemons (lemonade), a hamburger with extra toppings (a salad) needless to say I lost the bet. This is where the $1 in her bedroom on the cork board came from.  Upon any visit to see her we would laugh just as we had on the day that I lost the bet. 

I would visit with my mom every other weekend.  She enjoyed riding around town and visiting old neighborhoods while reminiscing.  At the end of each visit, I would take selfies of us to create memories. 

Well, I could say so much, she was so wonderful to me and all that she came in contact with. I have many, many memories. I also had many mothers and she was one of them. I will never forget her smile and hearing her call my name. Rest In Peace Jo you are gone but never will be Forgotten in my heart ❤️     LOVE  ALWAYS, forever and ever.            DARLENA 

Ms. Josephine was such a dear sweet woman. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and carried herself with such class and grace. She always donated to our Women's ministry annual yard sale and always came the day of and hung out with us. She was an awesome cook and helped cook for our Christmas dinner as well. The last time I saw her was at the Christmas dinner. I had left Friendship by then, but it was such a joy to see her. I will always remember Ms. Josephine. My prayers and condolences to the family. May God comfort and strengthen you.
