When we moved in across from Jo almost 2 years ago, she was one of the first people on the block to welcome us. And she was the first one over with one of her baked treats when we had our daughter. She was such a sweet woman and wonderful neighbor and we will miss her. Our deepest condolences to your family.

Dearest James, Colleen, and gradchildren: Our prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. From the time we first met Mrs. Jo, she always made us feel a part of her family. We will miss her very much, but we all now need to be as strong for life as she was. We will be keeping you in our hearts. Grandpa Tom and Grandma Konita will be with you later in June.
