    I am the niece of Aunt Jo’s late husband Les Franklin. I have been trying to get in touch with her for 2 years, as her Christmas cards have been returned to me. On a visit to her home today, her sweet neighbor informed me of her death. My dad , her brother in law will be so sad, as they had many great times together and kept in touch after Uncle LJ passed. RIP Aunt Jo????????

Aunt Jo loves me as her own. I loved her just the same.. Her heart was so big and her love knew no bounds. She was my voice of reason when my world fell apart. She and Audrey had a bond that warmed m heart and made Audrey feel the love of a grand parent. Thank you for sharing her with us.
