Aunt Jo-Frances was one of the most kind, compassionate, and unselfish people that I have been around! She never had a bad thing to say about anyone.

She always had a smile on her face and an upbeat attitude. Our prayers and thoughts are with Uncle Peter, Hope, and Ben.

 

We love you all,

Blountstown United Methodist Church counted Jo as our most enthusiastic Mother in the late 1980's when she, Peter and Jenny moved to our town!  Our children's department was full of children and Jo was an instant leader.  Always optimistic and full of energy, she was the boost we mothers needed!  She was creative and organized!  We all loved this family and have missed them and have often talked of our days in the Children's ministry of the church with them.  Our two youngest daughters, Natalie and Frances often spent Sunday afternoons playing with Jenny!  Peter and Jo provided hours of fun for them and they still hold those memories dear!  We were so sorry to hear of Jo's illness and our church had you all on our prayer list through this time.  Our prayers continue with you as you adjust to your loss.
Our love to you all,
Donna Corbin

Generosity

August 11, 2015

If you have ever walked in our neighborhood, you most likely know Jo!  She's the one with the big smile and kind words.  We would catch up for a minute (and sometimes longer), if we had the time.  We have missed her in the neighborhood.  We are thanking God for the opportunity to get to know Jo & Pete and count them as friends and neighbors.  Now she walks and talks in the garden with our Lord.  Someday we shall see her again, we are encouraged by that truth!

I wanted to share what strikes me most about Jo, it was her generosity.  Whether a smile (a mile wide), a laugh or a concern it was always wrapped in kindness and thoughts for others.

Just a few examples - offering to walk our special needs son, Paul, in the neighborhood; sharing the news of a neighborhood break-in; vegetables from the garden; a bluebird home; helping move Bobbi & Jenni & Kevin; neighborhood parties ('what can I bring or can we give you money for food?'); sharing her time and love for life with children, she delighted in children, especially Jenni & Kevin's group!
 
Charlie & I are thankful for last New Year's Eve neighborhood party, and our last visit on the front porch.

We are praying for you, Pete, Hope & Ben.

In His amazing grace - Julie & Charlie

Aunt Jo Frances will be dearly missed.  I don't have a single negative memory of her....she was always smiling and one of the most selfless people I have ever had the privelage of knowing.  She was very caring, sincere and always thinking and worrying about others.   I will miss getting together at her home in Tallahassee...she was an excellent cook along with the other Edwards sisters...her Chicken Tetrazinni was the best! She and Uncle Peter raised Hope so well....Hope and Uncle Peter...you will remain in my thoughts and prayers. 

 

Love Always,

Gone Too Soon

August 4, 2015

Jo was a lively, loving woman who I was very glad to have met. She was always kind and willing to help anyone out. I did not know her well or long, but Jo made a powerful impression on me. I am grateful to have experienced her smile and deep caring ways of being in relationships with others.

My sympathies and love to the family.

Jo is gone too soon and very much missed.

Corinne, mother-in-law to Hope
