Jo Ann Wendelken, beloved wife of forty-three years of Bob, mother of Rob and Trish, sister in love to all, you stole our hearts, captured our attention and challenged our thinking. We are forever indebted to our Jo for your quick wit, uncompromising honesty, integrity and wisdom. Jo loved unconditionally was practical and pragmatic. We are blessed by her life, enriched by her love and forever indebted to her for teaching us about gratitude, love and honesty.

Jo, you always shared from your substance. We thank you for all you taught us. We are especially grateful for the special lessons we witnessed these last few months. You taught us lessons of humility, grace, endurance, hope, unselfishness and gratitude. We are forever grateful for the treasure you are to our family and will always cherish you and all you taught by your love and example.

We thank you Jo, for responding unequivocally to each of us in times of crisis, joy and the day to day mundane. You are a joy; we are blessed by your presence in our family!
