Donnie: 
The sad news of Jo's death arrived yesterday morning and I just wanted to let you know how shocked and how sorry I am to hear it.  As you know, Jo and I worked together for many years - we were so close - you couldn't have a better friend than Jo - I will miss her terribly.  She was genuinely loved by her coworkers and was highly respected throughout CDC. Please accept my deepest sympathy and extend it to the other members of the family.

To the Cornwell Family, 
We are so sorry for your loss.  We both worked with Jo; to us she was so much more than a colleague.  She was like family, always making us birthday cakes and reminding us to take care of ourselves.

Jo had a heart of gold.  She was a true heart.  Most of all, she will be missed.

Jo was one of the finest Southern ladies I ever knew.  So kind and gentle.  She once  told me I had pneumonia, when I thought it was just a cold, and she was right!  After we went our separate ways, she continued to send me an e-mail for years, wishing me a happy birthday.  The world's a better place for her being here.

We were so saddened to hear of Mrs. Cornwell's passing.  She was a wonderful neighbor for so many years.  She was always checking on my mother when she was still living across the street.  I know that they are together again in heaven.  Please know that the entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Jo contributed to eveyone's life with whom she interacted. For me and many of us at CDC she shared her time and talents to make work easier, better, and more enjoyable.  Her mother, Don, her children, her grandchildren, and her siblings were always a part of her work conversations. It was clear to us that her famliy was the center of her life - and that she was an essential part of their lives.  My sincerest sympathies are with the Cornwell, Scarborough, White, and Craig families during this time of deep and personal loss.

So very very sorry to hear about Jo's passing.  We worked together at CDC and she was a wonderful person; loved her church so much and family and took such good care of her mother.  RIP Jo; I know you are in heaven.

We were so sorry to hear of Jo's passing, but know she is walking with Jesus (as she always has ).  She helped teach our daughter to sing with confidence and helped me (Sharon) in so many ways when we were in church and working together.  A true Christian lady, devoted wife and mother.  Love and prayers to Donnie, Sharon, Mark and their families,  Sharon & Richard Bennett

Jo smile we will never forget- I can see her now walking into church with her Bible on her arm and that smile on her face. I know that smile is even bigger now that she is in the presence of her KING. She will be missed so much- but we know its not good bye it is we will see you again. We love your family-and please know that we are here for you . Love your sister and brother in Christ, The Farmer Family, Tammy,Dave,Kayla,Kelsey,Kerrigan

To the Cornwell Family, I was stunned when my mom called and told us that my cousins grandmother passed away.  I'm still in shock over our recent loss of a grandparent and will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. 

God Bless,
