    I was so sorry to learn of Jo Ann’s passing. We were classmates both from St. Mary’s grade school and FHS class of 59. At St Mary’s we were good friends and I came to know her parents and Kathy. We drifted apart in high school, but I always considered her a friend and was pleased when she and Jack got together. We did not see each other often over the years, but when I saw her at our 40th FHS reunion, my first comment was that she looked so much like her mother. To her sister, children, and grandchildren, I want to say that I will always remember her and the good times we had as young teens. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Sherry
