I had the pleasure to know Jo when I bought my condo 4 years ago in the same community where she lived. She was one of the first people I met, she treated me like I was part of her life, she called me honey, dear, etc. right from the beginning and never changed. She was a very nice lady.
Jo, you are in the best place you could ever be. I will miss you. Until we see each other again.
