Aunt Jo was a wonderful woman. She loved her family, faith, and friends, as they were always on the forefront of her mind, and alway came up in conversation. She was a great conversationalist, and I’m sorry I fell out of touch the last couple of years. I thought of her often. She was always so kind to me and my family, and I will always remember how loving she was towards my grandmother, her sister-in-law. Love, and condolences to all the family. It is beautiful that she will be laid to rest in Arlington with Uncle Belg.

I am so sorry for your families loss. Mrs. B was such an amazing lovely woman, who will be cherished in my heart. I would be honored if I could be invited to her burial at Arlington National Cemetery if the ceremony is open to friends of the family.
