Today, my family went to the memorial service of a dear family friend who passed away after a too-long battle with Alzheimers. Josephine, (we all knew her as just Jo) Koennecke built a house on the land next to my parents. I was a teenager, so we have known her for many years. She and Clarence got married the same year as Lamar and I did. We always thought that was a fun connection between us. She watched as each of us started our own families. Our kids grew up knowing her. She was a very special lady who touched many, many lives in her 83 years of life. She was hilarious, she was generous, she had spunk. She was special and we will miss her dearly.
