My deepest sympathy on the passing of Jovita to her family. I have many fond memories of Jo, singing with my mom (Caroline), spending time at her house...the pig roast and the luau at the Boat Club. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Gayle (Hansen) Weesies##imported-end##
When I think of "Aunt Jo" I can't help but smile. I have such fond memories growing up at Stony Lake, Brookside Dr., & Churchill Dr. When she saw me she would call me "Cin....dy Sue" with her sing songie voice. The best word to describe her is FUN. She had so much energy and never met a stranger. I too was one of her Hula students! She will be missed. You are all in my thoughts ands prayers.##imported-begin##Cindy Hoekenga Dean##imported-end##
I first met the Cox family when Jamie and I were in confirmation together, and then when Jim, Jamie and I all went to school together. It was an honor to have known Jo for so many years, first during our times hanging out at the MLBC and working on the Luau, and then later when we all became close friends, and you made me feel like part of your family. You will be greatly missed Jo. My girls called her "grandma Jo" and they didn't know that they weren't her biological grandkids!! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. My love to you all.

When I saw Jo recently at the hospital she had a smile on her face and seemed to recognize me. That brought back many memories of the times our families spent together. I know this is a time of sorrow but as I write this I can't help but have a smile on my face as I remember her infectious laugh. We'll miss you Jo.##imported-begin##Jeff Schneider##imported-end##

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I will miss seeing her in Church when she visited to hear her Son preach. I'm sure now she is at peace and watching over all the family.
Gods Blessings

I have great memories of when I was a little kid and Jo was the neighbor lady who made me feel so important. I remember making bouquets for my teacher in her garden. She taught me to do the hula.##imported-begin##Judy Anderson Braden##imported-end##
