My deepest sympathy to all of Jo's family. We worked side by side for many years at The Travelers, shared a lot of laughs and fond memories. I am going to miss her. She was a wonderful, kind person. I missed her at our last Travelers Retiree's lunch in June. She is at peace now and out of all pain.
