Jo Ann Taite - Guestbook

May God be with you during this sad time. I loved Mrs. Taite so much. My memories of her and our times together will stay with me forever. Your tribute to her by "Ballin' the Jack" one last time was so touching. Love to you all now and always.

Karen, Fred, Tim, Robin, Danielle, Zack, & Emily,

Jo Ann was our special, loving friend and she will be sorely missed!! We will miss our phone calls, Kazoo band, and what will I do without her at the domino table!!?? We would love to talk, eat, and at times get in trouble for making the wrong moves! Horace would keep her in check!! The memorial service was touching in many many ways. Tim, I loved the ice cube account..Karen, your sweet words were profound and touching. I can't say enough how much Jo Ann talked about her love for Fred!! She loved to fix his favorite foods!! Again, we will never forget our dear friend and we will see her soon in Heaven. Love, GL & Marilyn Beardslee

Dear Karen, Tim and family,

I am so sorry to hear of Jo Ann's passing. The obituary was right - she never met a stranger. I remember all the Christmas and New Year's parties your parents use to throw - seems like yesterday.

Her hugs and laughter will be sorely missed.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Love to you all,

I was so sorry to hear that Jo Ann had passed away. I have such fond memories of the whole White family (my Grammy and Grandpa, Aunt Margie, Uncle Don, your mom, Tolbert and of course all of you).

I am so sad to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories of Jo Ann; Christmases at her home in Houston and always lots of amazing desserts! I loved sitting on the floor with the adults and listening to all the old family stories.

I am praying for your family during this time as I know these days are difficult.

Much love,

Karen and Fred and family - What a joy it has been to be a part of JoAnn's life - three short years! She was such a delight to be around - her straightforwardness and sense of humor is what I will miss the most about this lovely woman. She went above and beyond in being a friend to my Mother; thus, she became like a second Mother to me. I will miss picking up the phone and talking or listening to her wonderful stories. May you always remember how much I loved JoAnn and will miss her deeply. May God grant you all peace and comfort in the days ahead. Knowing that she is with loved ones in her Heavenly home, bringing smiles to their faces brings a smile to mine. Hark the Herald Angels sing! I now have a special Angel watching over me. Love...

Dear Karen and Tim. I am so sorry to hear about JoAnn. It makes me realize how we need to stay more in touch. I was just thinking of her and Aunt Marjorie the other day. How JoAnn could make us all laugh and when we were bad (which wasnt often)cry! And boy could she cook! I remember watching tv on their back den in houston and we would all get together as a family and enjoy her cooking. Seems like yesterday. She is in heaven with all her loved ones. I hope you will keep in touch with Willa and Pete and I. We can share memories of the good old days when we were all together. We love you all. Maryanne

You are in my prayers. I will miss her. She was my friend. She reminded me of my dad in the way she never met a stranger and the way she could tell her true stories of life. I was blessed to have known her.

JoAnn

I have known JoAnn for a long time. We worked together at the Board Of Pardons and Paroles at the Houston I District Parole Office.

Jo Ann was not only my friend, but a mom. She always gave me much love, encouragement and was always willing to listen. I will always love JoAnn and she will always hold a "special" place in my heart.
