I will always remember Joetta from EUB Church when I was a young boy and later when I went on mission trips with Joetta and Robert. I will always remember her as a kind Christian lady.

Dear Robert, Randy and Jennifer,
I tried to be with you tonight, however the weather prevented me from making the trip. I wanted you to know how much I loved Jo and care for your family. On my way to work this morning, Dave and I found ourselves spinning into the median and I felt as though an Angel was watching over us....I was calm and comforted. Jo has always been there for me. I wish very much that I could be with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Rachel
