So sorry to hear of the passing of Jo. We were friends in high school and she was in my wedding. We had some really good times together. After I got married we lost touch with one another. If I had known we did not live too far from each other I would have contacted her. Once again I am so sorry. Just lean on God and He will carry you through. My prayers are with your family.
Jessica, I am so sorry for your loss. my prayers are with you and your family. I pray you feel Gods presence during this time.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked at Mary Hughes with Jo for many
years. She was a very sweet person and a
wonderful teacher.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Jo was a very special lady. She was my daughter Rachel's teacher in third grade. I remember on Halloween that year Rachel dressed up as Cleopatra and of course had a dark wig on and I was fixing to take her picture and she said hey mom I look like a miniature "Jo Malone". I told Jo this and she got the biggest laugh out of that. I tell you this because the special memories are what get your through the toughest times. I still miss my dad everyday but I treasure all the special times and memories we had. I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend the service for your mother. Please know that I have your family in my prayers. May God give you comfort during this time.
Loving thoughts and prayers

Jessica and Jeremy, I am so sorry about your Mom. You are
in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was such a pleasure
to work with. She always said it like it was. It takes a lot of
character to stand up for what you believe in. And I always
respected your Mom for that. She made me laugh. You
children show that kind of character. And how she loved her
grandchildren. She was so proud of them. If there is anything
I can do for you, pleas let me know.
Love,
Donna

Jessica,
I will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time. Love, Sharilyn
I wanted to express my sympathy to the friends and
family of Alice Malone. I wanted to share one
brief scripture from the bible that I have found
encouraging and thought would encourage you
also.It is found in John 5:28,29. It says "Do not
be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which
all those in the memorial tombs will hear his
voice and come out, those who did good things to a
resurrection of life" You will be in my thoughts
and prayers. Carrie
