Roma called us in Tucson to inform us of your Mother's passing. We were very sorry to hear the news. Jo was always a very special lady to our family as well as a valued employee for us at Berry's. We know she will be missed greatly by her family and friends but we are very thankful for having known her.

I am deeply sorry to hear of Jo's passing. She was a wonderful lady and taught me many lessons in the short time I got to spend with her at Richland Rehab. You are all blessed to have had her as your mother. Take care and God Bless you at this time and always.

I am so sorry you lost your mother, Carol. I remember all the times she visited at our daycare. What a wonderful person she was. She was one of the kindest people I've ever met. She will be missed. I hope you and your family are doing ok. Hang in there, it will get better. Thinking of all of you with deepest sympathy.

Cindy, Dan and Carol,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a great lady and my 2nd Mom back in my Jr High years. Dan was my best friend and we often spent Friday or Saturday night at each others homes. I still remember Jo coming into the bedroom in the morning to wake us up by sprinkling cold water on our faces! Considering that we'd probably kept her and John awake half the night laughing and carrying on, we got off pretty easy.
I will always remember the Hawthorne...
