Jo was a member of the First Baptist Church of Bellefonte, where she loved to sing in the choir. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her grandchildren.

PLEASE DON'T CRY

My precious loved ones, please don't cry
Since I have gone away.
I'm with Jesus in a better place.
I want all of you to meet me someday.

I've left all my pains and heartaches down here,
I won't have to suffer anymore.
I've just gone over to the other side,
To be with loved ones gone before.

I'll be with Jesus forever more,
In that Heavenly Home on high.
I want you to be ready to meet me there,
In that beautiful Home in the sky.

So please don't cry, just be happy for me.
Look to Jesus for comfort today.
Just live for Him, and we'll meet again,
We'll be together through endless day.
