Joe-


Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of you Mother.

Joe,                                                   So sorry to read of your moms passing.She was a joy to have for a friend. We both are so blessed to have are mothers for so many years, being only children.                                           Cherishing her memory,                           Sharon Kimball

Ms. Colter was the first person to speak to me and welcome my family when I moved into her son's neighborhood.  She was always smiling and quick to wave and say hello when visiting and has been missed greatly since she stopped coming by.  My thoughts and prayers for Joseph and the family.

Jo was a wonderful person.  Always fun to be around.  May she rest in Heaven.   

Our deepest sympathy to Jo's family and friends.
