My dear friend loved teddy bears, and so I bought a shirt covered in teddy

So sorry for your loss. It was a privilege to have had the opportunity to work with Jo in the Magnet Program, Law and Public Policy, at Largo High School, in Prince Georges County, MD. She was so gracious to staff and students. I cherish the throw she made for me.

Mrs. Henry was the epitome of greatness, both in the classroom and out. She was my AP European History teacher in HS and I have cherished her ever since. From trying to teach a left-hander how to crochet during a NYC field trip bus ride to all the cards she would send on birthdays and holidays. Sending condolences to her family and friends; I know she is greatly missed by all.

She will be greatly missed, was a great teacher. Many prayers for your family.

Jo and I administered the Law and Public Policy cohort for the Academy of Law at Largo HS for many years. She was the most organized and innovative teacher I had ever known. She demonstrated genuine love for her students and represented the profession with grace and dignity. Teachers of her caliber are called and not made. Take your rest Jo. You earned it!!!!!
