Leave a TributeAll my love,

I miss you. I miss the turkey walk. I miss you and me in the Corvette. I miss you trying to teach me to play pool. I miss you and me going out to the big country western bar after my karate lesson. I miss giving you a kiss on the mouth just to shock the stupid guys. I miss talking to you.
I miss you.
Love you so very much.
Of all of her marvelous skills and talents I loved her "turkey walk" the most. It always made me laugh so hard. We stayed in touch after we both left Lubbock but weren't able to see each other as often as I wish. I went with her to Las Vegas once, and we watched the people waddle out of the all-you-can-eat buffet, laughing at them, then proceeded to eat until WE waddled out, laughing at ourselves. Jo was many things to many people, for me she was joy and laughter, love and kindness, and a sister-hood that will go on forever.
I love you, I've always loved you Josephus.
My heart goes out to Sandra, Lori and Randy, as well as Mike and Sue.
I Love You, Mom.
