Jo Ann was a dear friend. We shared happy times and sad times. She was a great encourager. After being her hairdresser for almost 30 years, there was much I learned from reading her biography that I never knew. She never told of all her great talents and accomplishments. I only heard of how much she loved all of her family, how she relied on her Lord,loved Christmas, and how she enjoyed her plants and flowers. I had the honor of watering them for her once in this past year while visiting. She was always interested in how my family was faring. She is greatly admired and missed by all who were blessed to know her.
Bob,
My thoughts are with you and your family. God bless,
Lance
We remember Jo Ann as always wearing a beautiful smile that lit up a room. Heaven is a richer and brighter place due to her arrival there.
Dear Dani and Bob,
Your Mom and wife have always been extra special to me. I always loved hearing about the vacations our parents took together and the fun that Momma, Jo Ann and Willa Mae had together. I truly believe that they are all in Heaven together having a good time again. Losing your Momma is the greatest pain in the world. But the legacy of what a loving, Christian Mother leaves with us is priceless. I am so thankful that Jo Ann was a part of my life!
My thoughts and prayers are with the Darden family.
Our dwwpwst and sincerest sympathies. Our prayers arre with you and all of the family.
Dear Mr. Darden:
The nurse’s at Dimensions prayers are with you and your family in this very sad time. You are in our thoughts each day. God Bless.

I remember Jo Ann as a neighbor. We met while walking the neighborhood in Waco, Jo Ann with her dogs. Always cheerful and joyful she would lift my spirit just with her greeting! What a precious lady.
