Read MoreJo and Ned were guests at our 1986 wedding in Manhattan Beach. Jo took a lot of very fun photos at the reception then went to the One-Hour photo developer in Manhattan Village and gave us the photos to take on our honeymoon. Needless to say, 1986 was way before cell phones and digital photography, so having those photos to take with us was such a gift. She was thoughtful and SO much fun.

Pat, I never met your mom. But I have always heard great things from her Jesuit friends. I loved this obituary--What a great life! And I certainly enjoyed the line about the Santa Clara waiting list. I will gladly make a donation to Homeboy/Homegirl Industries. God bless you, Peggy, & your family

Dear Greg, Pat, Jamie, Tom, John, Kelly and families. I am so sad to hear of your mom Jo’s passing. I have so many memories of 18th Street and the Breens. The endless summers, and dinners at your house. The kindness, laugh, and endless chatter. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers, and that the memories we have of your beloved parents will last in our hearts...
