My deepest condolences to my dear friend, Jo Ann, and her family. Words cannot convey the feelings one must have at the passing of a parent, so I will not attempt to know what's written on your heart. Although I am thousands of miles away, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and you always will be.
