We were Jo's neighbor's for 12 years. We will miss her deeply. She was the greatest. She loved our dogs and they miss her already, always looking up onto the stairs to see if she's there. She always had something to give us, dog bones, ham, her cookies and that warm smile. To her family God bless you just know she's in a better place.
