Jo Anne loved the ocean, palm trees and music. Give her a chair on the beach with her tunes and she was all set. She was the life of the party and everyone that met her loved her. She loved to sit by her pool with her gecko friends and butterflies. She loved her doggie child, Gadget, and would have had 100 dogs if she could have.
Jo Ann is loved and will be missed by all, and as sure as she is looking down, smiling on us all, we will meet again.
“When you closed your eyes and soared to heaven, I could hear the faint flutter of your wings.”
