Praying for you. Because of Jo I was blessed by her daughter Jes and her family. My life will never be the same for the friendship Jes and I shared. Her family will always be a part of our family. And with all that all of you are precious to me. Sorry that you have lost Jo.

Jo was my cherished baby sister and I appreciated her cheer in the most daunting circumstances-she never gave up nor stopped trying to persevere in all things. I wish she’d have known how much she was loved by all of her family. RIP Jo, you were a fighter who overcame challenging circumstances and brought the world three wonderful daughters. We hold you in our hearts forever. I hope you are finally at peace and enjoying your reunion with our beloved Jes. ❤️
