My prayers go out to the family for their loss of such a special lady. I had the privilege to work with Jo in the mid 90's and she truly made an impact on me with her caring, compassionate approach. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to reconnect with her briefly last spring after 20 years and she touched me again with her spirit as she was battling. The world is a better place because Jo was in it.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Tobin family at this trying time. I am grateful that I got to reconnect with JoJo at our reunion at Nancy's home. I have fond memories of our time at ERHS. God be with you all. Fondly, Barbara Black Wilson.

My deepest condolences to the Tobin family. Jo always had a smile on her face and I always enjoyed our times together. I appreciate so much her generosity to my daughter Erin and family. Whenever I visited Az I felt her warmth and hospitality towards me and will always cherish my memories of her. She will be missed and never forgotten.
Love Judy Scott
