Jo Brent & I spoke at length just 2 days ago & shared memories of my parents & her & John Ray’s laughs of good times in the past. She gave me insight & words of wisdom to help deal with my parents recent passings & shared stories of Brad & the way she grieved. She absolutely loved her family. I’ll cherish that last hug.
John Ray & Jo Brent have both made positive impacts to myself & our family for many years.
Uplifting prayers & blessings for all. Much Love.

Jo Brent was sure a special lady. I am so thankful that our paths crossed in this life. I have so many fond memories of her, John Ray and family. She always carried herself with such poise and had a sweet smile. I am glad she and I got to share a conversation and one last hug only a few months ago. My heart goes out to the family! I have been and will continue to lift all of the family up in prayer! It is only through God and His son Jesus that true peace and comfort comes! She loved her family and I know they sure love her ! The memories that was shared will always be precious! Praying for strength and comfort during this time!
With love,
