    Doug, Ron and Family:

    Please accept our sincere condolences. Jo was a positive caring sister and friend. She was highly respected in her position with the Brant County Board of Education and as a Christian sister she exemplified the traits of a capable, loving wife and mother as described at Proverbs 31. Jo will be dearly missed. All of us look forward to the privilege of seeing her again in the resurrection.

    Although we will not be able to attend the memorial service, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Warm Christian Love
    Greg and Mary Buckles

    Whenever we would see your Mom she would always have a smile on her face and have some spiritually encouraging words for us.
    When we would go to visit and encourage your Dad while he was in hospital he too would be as encouraging to us as we wanted to be to him.
    Both your parents were great examples of Christians who relied on Jehovah’s spirit to get them through their difficult times.
    When Jehovah wakes them in the new order may we be there to greet them.

    We want you to know how much we loved your mom. Both your parents were great examples to us in Brantford. We have missed them very much but are grateful that we have Jehovah’s wonderful hope for the future. What a blessing to know that they along with so many others will wake up with no pain, no sorrow and happy again.
    Our prayers are with your families,
    Love,
