Eva JoAnn Hellwig

Message from Leo & Mary

How very fortunate we were to have known a very special lady by the name of JoAnn. My greeting to her on the many visits to her was "Hi Gorgeous" she would then break into a smile. If she wasn't feeling well she would give me a Walter face and say she felt blah and then smile. Oh how I will miss her. She was very proud of her family and talked frequently about Karl. We are blessed to have Karyl & Mac as dear friends and because of them we met this very dear lady.

Dear Karyl and family, Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with yall during this time. Though we didn't
see her very often, it was always such a joy to visit. I loved her so much and wanted so badly to visit her in the nursing home, but life gets in the way. I'll miss that beautiful, friendly smile and those twinkling bright eyes. You were all so blessed to have her. God Bless all of you, and Evie, darling, Rest in Peace, Eternally.

Dear Beautiful Grandma Jo. As a child I loved you so much, spending summers and winter breaks with you. As an adult we were there for each other. We could always count on each other. It broke my heart when you health started to fail. I feel it was more of comfort for me to care for you. AN HONOR. I feel more that you were a “second” Mother to me. You are my Mom’s, Karyl’s Best Friend as well as her MOTHER. I feel I have the same relationship with my Mother via example. I will miss you “Honey”

I loved my Aunt Jo (who I called Uncle Jo in my childhood years). She was fun loving for sure and will be missed. My heart goes out to her siblings and all of my cousins at this time of bereavement. Rest in peace, Aunt Jo, Love you.

Message from Teresa Dawson

My heart goes out to the family but especially to Pamela Howe, friend of many years as well as her wonderful children (who are all grown up with children of their own) Ed and Christina. I know the emptiness that losing a loved one creates. You are all in my heart, prayers and thoughts.

I've tried to find a magical word that would help all of my nieces and nephew feel better about losing their precious mother. There is no such word. I always loved making my sister laugh because her giggle and laugh was contagious. When I needed someone to talk to, she would listen patiently. And do you know what? I am only a few years younger than my sister, Jo, but she still called me "honey" when we hung up from a phone call. It warmed my soul. I will miss her tremendously. In my elderly years I have learned that siblings are very important in your life. Treat yours like jewels.

I have been trying to think of a magical word that would help my nieces and nephew feel better. There is none. I loved telling my sister funny stories because she had the best giggle and an infectious laugh. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, I went to my dear sister, Jo. She would listen and I would feel better. And do you know what? At only six years younger than Jo, she still called me 'honey' when we hung up from a phone call. It always warmed my soul. I will miss her tremendously. I have learned in my elder years that sibling family is so very important. Treat yours like a jewel. Our hearts and prayers are with you all. God Bless

Message from Courtney Erhardt

We may not have talked very often but when we did it was always a great conversation. I'm glad I was able to go visit a couple of years ago. I'll always remember that visit. You will be missed. Love, Courtney

No one can replace JoAnn in my heart. No one. I wish I will hold my love for my sister forever in the cup of my hand to keep it warm and alive in memory. Words from a poem; “ A rose looks grey at midnight, but the flame is just asleep.” Eva JoAnn Hellwig is the rose.

Message from Dolly

Love you for saying that.

Message from Pamela Howe

Dear Mom, you are a gracious lady and I have been blessed to have you as my mother. I only wish I could have been more like you in the way you are with people and friends. You have made an impression on the lives of everyone you have touched. I will miss you a lot. Love from your second daughter Pam
