Aunt Jo Pearl, always supported us and was not just an Aunt, but seregate mother to all of us, my cousins, her sons where not just cousins but brothers, protectors, defenders, and friends. One story that always tickled Jo Pearl occurred on a particular hot day while she and my mother were just going to stop at the store for a " minute", which was far more than a minute. Me an angry preteen said to them very belligerently " Where ya'll been, it tickled both my mother and Jo Pearl. I said it again " I said where ya'll been. Jo Pearl laughing told my mother " he thinks he's grown. Later that phrase turned " you ain't too old for a butt whipping. Rest in the loving memories Aunt Jo Pearl. Love.❤️

The hearse wheels keep on rolling rolling rolling and never seem to stop Death has once again invaded our family circle We can take solace in the fact that to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD We sorrow not like those who have no hope for our hope is CHRIST Let us take joy of a well lived life No more weeping or wailing she's gone home to be with her LORD She truly is done with the trouble of this world Dry your eyes she's made it where she struggled to be for over eighty years to be Though unable to be with you in physically you remain in my thoughts and prayers Marvin L Henderson Kent OH

She was a wonderful lady and always treaded me with kindness and love. Her Italian cream cheese cake was awesome and she would remind me when she was bringing one to church. Thank you Richard for sharing her with me.
