To the Family of Jo Buckner,
You were so blessed to have had a wonderful Mother and Grandmother, and I
was blessed to have had Martha Jo for my first cousin. It would please me so when
somebody would tell me that I favored her. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.
She was truly a fine example for all of us to follow.
We love you all.
Cherry Clayton Stowe and Larry, Catherine Ruth and Christina Stowe
Martha Jo was a wonderful first cousin. She was a true Christian Southern lady.
She always had a sweet smile and a twinkle in her eyes.
Our love to Dale, Bill, Brian and their families..

When I moved to Anderson I was interested in writing and I was put in touch with Jo. We carpooled to the Sunday critiquing meetings and to the Foothills Writers Guild meetings. We became good friends. Her Baptist religion, her Bill, her boys, and Alabama were very important to her. I named one of the characters in my book Sadie Grace after her precious dog. I rode with Jo to Brevard, North Carolina and thoroughly enjoyed her company. I took her to the hospital after one of her falls and was so impressed with her bravery and her independence. She was a good woman who lived by her faith. She was a great talker and an even better listener. I met you boys at your dad's funeral. You had wonderful parents who loved you well. What a blessing for all of you. You can continue to speak of your mother and your father in present tenses for life is eternal and love transcends time and space. Much love to all of you.

Family, may you find a measure of comfort in knowing that God "is close to the brokenhearted." (Psalms 34:18) May your cherish memories also bring you comfort. Our sincere sympathy to all of you, family and friends.
So sorry to hear of Jo's passing. I attended school with David, Dale & Bill...prayers to your family.. Peace
