"Jo was a beautiful woman inside and out. She was PROUD of her children and adored her granddaughter! She was a loyal friend and hard worker. Jo walked to work and supported two children by herself! Love memories on Willow and all through my life. I regret not making time and visiting Jo in her later years. Love you Jo."
