Saddened are our hearts to lose such a beautiful lady. Aunt Willie Jo was a wonderful person, and so many memories I have carried with me and often think about. The look in her eyes as she spoke reminds me that she was a very concerned and interested person to hear what you had to say, and her sweet smile made you feel warmth and comfort. I always felt my world around me when Aunt Willie Jo visited was just my special world with her in it. To Mike and family, know that you are loved and it is important to know that we are grateful you are a part of our family.

Dear Mike and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Willie Jo's passing.
She always made me smile. I sent her cards each
year keeping her informed about my boys and she
would call mom and dad and let them know that she
had gotten them. What a Weatherly Reunion they are
having in heaven
