My heart goes out to Dr. Chris Logan, his father, Tanya, & family. No words can ease this unbearable pain, but please know your mom, wife, mother-in-law, grandmother…is in a wonderful place with our loving LORD. Even though I never met her, I know she fulfilled GOD’S purpose in raising an exceptional upstanding son & all of her deeds where she glorified our KING of kings. May our FATHER GOD’S impenetrable seal of protection, HIS compassion, mercy, grace, strength, & peace surround Dr. Logan & HIS entire family. You each have an angel smiling down watching over you. She has no more pain.
Sincerely, with deep understanding & love,

What a lovely lady! I will miss her.
We will always remember Jo with fond memories of our times together at First United Methodist Church. She was a lovely Christian woman. Prayers for her family.
I was saddened to learn that my good friend, Jo Logan, passed away last Sunday.
Jo was one of the most caring persons I have ever known. Her concern for meeting the needs of others was extraordinary!
Although her earthly life has ended, it is comforting to know that one day we will be reunited with her in Heaven!
