It saddens my heart to add two more obituaries this afternoon.

When I told David “Miss” Jo passed away, he asked if that was “our ‘Miss’ Jo”. She was special to our family in many ways. I remember going to her house when I was growing up. Her son was one of my classmates. She was a faithful member of FBC, Amite which included being a supporter of missions and missionaries. What an encourager she has been to our family!
