Our condolence to the family. We played volleyball together in the PARD league for many years there in Amarillo.She was a fierce competitor but a loving teammate. She will be sorely missed. May God bless Wes & the family.

Dear Friends,
We are so sad to hear of Jo's passing.
We were visiting with her Sunday and got to give her a hug and tell her we loved her and how strong and good she looked. We will sure miss her. Praying for you.
Love to you all.
