Those we love dont go away, they walk beside us everday, unseen, unheard but always near. So loved, So missed, So very dear... Holly Gilbert
I have such great memories growing up and staying summer weekends in Lincoln Park (Aunt Jo had the patience of a Saint for putting up with teenage me and Katie!), and running in to her randomly shopping at the Community Thrift Store. I will remember her as jovial and so caring, she was smiling and happy whenever or wherever I saw her. I know there is nothing that I can say that will make this loss easier, but know that I am sending my love and support. Love knows no boundaries.... Aunt Jo will be dearly missed. <3 Chris Lineberger
