I was a nurse that cared for Jo at SunBridge and was with her when she passed. Please know your mother was dearly loved and her laughter brightened our days.
Roy and Nancy,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. Losing a parent can be very difficult. Even if it means they will no longer be in pain. Please call us if we can do anything for you. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Mike and Barb

Dear Roy and Nancy,
I send my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to your family. I am a member of West Side Church and your mother was a faithful member and Sunday school teacher for years. Whenever I hear her name, I think of her ministry to 2-year-old children. She taught my son, who is now 19 years old and I know she touched his 2-year-old heart. What a wonderful servant she was and I know she is in the presence of Jesus. My prayers are with your family and I pray that God will bless you with His peace, strength, and comfort during this time and that He will assure you that Jo is with Him–safe in His arms.
God Bless.

Jo Ballard family,
I was sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Jo from my days at Battelle. I used the library extensively and Jo was always great at fulfilling my requests. We had a nice time chatting with each other during periodic phone calls.
I shall treasure the sound of her laugh. She was a fine gal and touched the lives of many people she met throughout her live.
