Shocked and saddened to say the least. Jo Ellen and I worked together for many many years at former Health South Rehab sharing the very same office space. She was a TREMENDOUS HELP TO ME in so many ways! We had very demanding, stressful, and frustrating jobs but we stuck in there because we knew we were helping people.It was also a wonderful place to work and we made many DEEP friendships that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Jo Ellen is one of those. We shared many good times but we also did the best we could to help each other thru some really SUPER hard times too.Ryan, I cannot begin to express how sorry I am to learn of this for you and your kids and now even grandkids ! Wow ! Grandkids ! II can only imagine how crazy about those she was ! I WILL CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR YOU AND ALL INVOLVED NOW AND IN THE TIMES AHEAD. LEAN ON GOD...AND TRUST HIM TO HELP YOU...AND HE WILL !MAGGIE

Jo Ellen was my first best friend in kindergarten, until I switched schools in 4th grade. We celebrated our birthdays, played at each others' houses, laughed and gossiped about boys. Sending so much love from myself and the Henson family in Paris. She was a bright and shining light. We will miss her and remember her always. Love to her precious family...
