Jo made a very positive impact in my life. Jo was always very kind to everybody around and she had a great sense of humor. She brightened my day just by being herself. I’m incredibly fortunate to have known her. I’ll fondly remember and cherish the memories I have of good times with her. I wish Jo’s friends and family great comfort in this grieving time.
