Coach Brunson and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss (heaven's gain). We can thank God for the promise that we'll see our loved ones again and there'll be no more pain or sorrow.
We'll be thinking of you and praying for you during the coming weeks and months.

Lori and family, so sorry to hear about Jo Ann's passing. Thinking and praying for you and the family. I am at Kelly's house in TN and she sends her condolences also. (Kelly Drake)

I am blessed and far better for the memories and life lessons poured into my life from Aunt Joann.  Her tenacity and dogged determination that flowed from her character into her professional roles as well as her battle with cancer was remarkable.  Her ability to blend into diverse situations always portraying the utmost positive outlook and drawing people into her infectious attitude was unparalleled.  However, of greatest importance and impact upon me was her steadfast support of Uncle Gary as he served young men and women through coaching athletics and Christian Athletes Ministries.  Her unwavering support continued as he entered full time ministry serving as pastor of several local churches and other ministry opportunities.  I can only assume that she was like each of us and ultimately imperfect but I am confident of this; that she was true at heart in pursuit of that which is right according to God's word and in that there is no fault, only grace.  May she rest in eternal peace and her life live on within us as a lasting example to pursue the truth in Christ no matter the circumstances that be come our way.

My deepest sympathy to Kirk and the Brunson family.

Very sorry to hear about your loss Coach. She was a beautiful and classy lady. Our prayers are with you.

I remember Mrs. Brunson being such a pretty and lovely woman when I delivered the newspaper to the Brunson family.  I truly have fond memories of the family, and that was a very long time ago.  I have worked with Kirk and he continues on with his Mothers beautiful smile!  God Bless you Mrs. Brunson.  God Bless the Brunson family left behind

I will always have Jo Ann in my memories.  I know she is in a wonderful place and I will be with her again when I am called to that heavenly place.  God is with you and your family during this difficult time.

Thinking of you all.  She was an amazing lady!  She was always very proud of her family! Prayers and hugs to you...

Gary, I am so sorry to hear about your wife.  You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts.

I did not get the opportunity to get to know my great aunt very well, but from what i did know, Joann was a very sweet person. So happy and full of life. May god be with the Brunson/Dilbeck families in this time of sorrow. Love you all.

I had the honor of working with Jo Ann at the Women's Hospital. She was a wonderful person who will certainly be missed.

My condolences to all the Brunson family. Jo Ann was so pretty and sweet. I still think about our trip to Israel.

So sorry for your loss. I've thought about her often the past few months. I knew She was a classy lady in the short time i knew her. I'm happy that she's no longer in pain.

Our hearts go out to the family.  God Bless and keep all of you.  Rod,Tammy,Sara and Family

She was a special lady and good friend, and I cherish her memory in my heart. I will remember her for her strength, and perseverance through her battles, and for her passion of life, family and most of all her King Jesus! Rejoicing that her soul is finally at rest and her spirit has returned to HIM!

I didn't get the chance to know Jo all that well. Working with Jo and her family has been wonderful. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. 

 (Nurse from West Park)

Besides her unmatched beauty, she impressed me as a co-worker in the late 60's whilst I was working beside her and her sisters at the Executive Inn during the Ronald Reagan presidential campaign. I loved the name of her son, Kirk, which inspired me to choose that for my own son!  She was funny, warm, and a trend-setter in fashion and faith! I spoke with her once on FB early this year, which was the first time since the 80's. Praying for the whole family!

We are so sorry for your loss.  Our prayer is that God will give you comfort and peace as you struggle with the passing of JoAnn. 

As difficult as it is to lose this loved one, we take comfort and rejoice in knowing she is in the presence of the Lord.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Take comfort in the Lord during this difficult time.  We loved her so much.  Jo Ann was an inspiration to so many people.  Her courage & strength through everything she had been through, her love of God and never give up attitude.  Heaven received a beautiful Angel and I know she was ready to go home.  We love and will miss you.

What a wonderful lady she was!  Our most sincere thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

May the Lord comfort you during this time of grief.  JoAnn was truly a special friend and will be remembered until we see her again in the presence of Jesus.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

May God be with your family during this time of sorrow.

I was sorry to hear the news about JoAnn. She was a beautiful and kind woman. My heart goes out to your family during this difficult time.
