The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou are with me, Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou anointeth my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I will miss my sister greatly. So many memories have been flooding my mind this week. She was always loving and considerate to me and my children. She was always thrilled to see us. She nicknamed me baby sister which was a name between the two of us.
Jo is at ease now and not having a hard time breathing. She’s with the Lord now. May she rest in peace.
Love and miss you Jo!
LaVonda, I do not know your mother, but I know you via Lynn. She had a beautiful giving daughter who is truly loved. Blessings to you. You are in my prayers.
Sincere sympathy to the family of Mary Josephine Simmons in their loss of a beloved Mother, Sister, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
LaVonda, you have been the most loving daughter to your mother. You have taken such good care of my sister, Jo. You will be rewarded with a jewel in your crown when you get to Heaven. You always made sure Jo was getting the best of care and showed your love in so many ways. We will miss Jo but know she is in a better place now.
