We were so sorry to hear about Jo Ann’s death, and we’re sorry we missed her Memorial Service. We did not see the obituary in time. JoAnn was John’s neighbor on Westgate Dr. for many years. JoAnn didn’t get out much, but I did have the pleasure right after Hurricane Harvey to visit with her on my back porch when she locked herself out of her house. We talked of old memories that she had with my parents, the Brocato’s, and my late Aunt Rosalie Arena.

My sincere condolences to the family at this difficult time. May you all seek God for comfort, peace, strength and support (2 Cor 1:3).
