I loved seeing Jo each week when I came to visit at Marion Manor. She wasn't up to visiting until she had her make up on for the day but once she did, she was up to visiting as long as you were. She didn't even mind if my visit interrupted the Kelly show. I loved seeing her smile and joking with her. I miss her and can't wait to see her again someday when we all get home. Prayers for the family until that day.....
