I am so sad to learn of Jo's passing. She was an amazing Christian loving soul. Many times she would have my Nanny (Sophie Oliver) and My Aunt Dale (her mother) in Dallas and take them shopping and let them be together for several weeks at the time. She would always get Them on the telephone and call me in Austin so we could all talk together. Nanny on one phone and Aunt Dale on the other which was in those days as close to a conference call as you could get! She wrote me a couple of Times after my dad (Sonny Oliver) passed very sweet letters. May she rest in Peace. Our aunt Nell Key was also laid to rest today. I can't believe they are gone .
