God blessed you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, so that you would seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart.
God blessed you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you would tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people.
God blessed you with the gift of tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you would reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.
God blessed you with enough foolishness to believe that you really can make a difference in this world, so that you were able, with God's grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.
You are forever in my heart.

Although when I met her she was "Mr. Bishop's wife", she soon became "Jo Ann", my sweet friend. She was such a special person. She always had a ready smile and we could talk for hours. I will miss her. Y'all will remain in my prayers in the coming weeks. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a blessing in many lives.

A few years ago, we began our journey when my Brother Ken said meet ‘Grandma’. That was his name for you.
Ms Jo Ann as the weeks went by, and we talked at the auctions, we became more than friends. We became family. I am so blessed to have known such a beautiful soul and have spent the evening with you.
Momma Jo you will missed. Until we meet again…..

Who knew - that when you collapsed into my arms, it would be the last time I would hug you tight
Who knew - that while we were sitting there laughing, your seat was being prepared that night
Who knew - that when we were crying those tears of joy, He was calling on the rain
Who knew - that when I was holding your hand, we would never meet again
Who knew - that when we were sharing our stories, I'd hear you speak no more
Who knew - that my most beautiful friend, would right before my very eyes, transform
Who knew - that when I made this trip to see you, that it would surely be my last
Who knew - that all of our beautiful memories, will soon become the past
Who knew - HE knew
God makes no mistakes! He knew it was time for you to rest and walk among the angels.
Rest in heavenly peace, Ms Joann - Brother has escorted you home.

We will miss Jo Ann's sweet voice of encouragement, her hands that reached out without hesitation, her humor, her quickness to say "it's gonna be alright", her witness in recognizing "it's a God thing", and her joyful optimism. We will ever be thankful for her friendship and love. Our love and prayers are with her family & friends.
