Whenever Mr.Kimball comes pick up the food order we always ask how Mrs. Kimball is doing.  They used to come and dine-in together at our place. They are both a wonderful couple! Mrs. Kimball is a very sweet and friendly lady. She's going to be missed by everyone at this place.  Our deepest condolence for the loss of Mrs. Kimball and our greatest sympathy to Mr. Kimball and his family.

Red:

You and your family are in my thoughts. Mary Jo's energy and beauty would light the room.  I will miss her very much.

Love,
Doris

My Aunt Jo will always hold a special place in my heart.  She inspired me in the following ways:  southern hospitality, romance and travel.  Aunt Jo was the first person I knew who actually used individual salt cellars and miniature spoons, when entertaining.  This act alone showed me there really is an art to entertaining!  Even though that sounds "high brow", she understood that true entertaining meant making sure your guests were comfortable.  And that's where the pizza comes in. During my picky teenage years, she happily would make me pizza for dinner while serving everyone else her scrumptious food.  
     As for the romance part,  nothing sounds more romantic than how she met Red.  Jo was not what you would think of, when imagining a typical young woman of the 40's.   Not only was she beautiful, she was also an adventurer, landing a job in Guam, and then meeting Red, a handsome, worldly pilot for the United States Air Force.  Her stories of travel, Red, and the air force came to life through her meticulously kept scrapbooks, that she would patiently go through with me each time I visited.
     I will fondly remember Aunt Jo as a loving person who always went above and beyond for her family and friends.  Her actions and her stories have helped shaped who I am, today, and for that, I am thankful.

Jo was a very special lady and a good friend.  She always had a smile and cheer in her voice when she greeted you.  She was a fantastic role model in the way she dealt with adversity and illness.  Additionally, she was an excellent bridge player and taught me a lot about the game.  I was proud to be her friend.  Words can not express the sympathy I feel for her family, and their loss.

Thoughts and Prayers to the family.  She was a client of mine at Platinum Salon and Spa a few years back.  She loved her facials with me.  I very much enjoyed our time together and all her stories.  What a truely remarkable woman.  Her family meant everything to her and 
how blessed I feel to have known her.

So sorry to hear about Mary will miss seeing her here at the office.  She was a great lady.  Will miss talking about jewelry and her tootsie rolls.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  God bless
