Aunt Jo was such a blessing to so many! I have great memories of her teaching me to knit and crochet and I loved spending time with her and Uncle Pier. Her generosity and talent with her knitted and crocheted projects is found in countless homes,including ours. And my mom thought so much of her, she named me after her. Love you,Aunt Jo!
