So sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my first wife to cancer in 2007. A loss is something that never goes away, the memories remain to only become more distant and bearable with time.
Very sorry, Dick, to hear about Jo.

I worked with JoAnn at one of the title companies in Lee’s Summit. She always spoke so much about Dick, Troy, Tami and her granddaughter Skylar. She adored her to the moon and back. She always always had such a smile and personality that no one would ever forget. I was just talking about her not too long ago to my husband about what a sweet and wonderful person she was. She will be missed most certainly. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
