I was so fortunate to have Aunt Jo and Uncle Don in my life. They were best friends with my parents, and we have loads of memories together. It´s hard to believe they are gone. Aunt Jo had the best laugh, and she always treated me with love and kindness. They were our neighbors and became our family.
