I will forever love and remember you! E.J.

Jo, your daughter Su was, once upon a time, my housemate and dear, dear friend and I am so glad you and I have kept in touch through these years.

I miss you, and I miss Su. I know you are now taking good care of each other. Gay Haugh-Tucker, Makanda, Illinois

Mama Jo,where to begin,I have known you since my mom first met you in the 60s. You let us swim in your pool in the summer time for many years. You even taught me how to swim and never let me live down our joke when I turned 25 and reminded me of that being old age! The 3 of us laughed(mom/you/me). I made you our 3 kids unofficial Godmother.

Aunt Jo, such a kind and thoughtful person. Always a joy and such an encourager. We, Jo and I, always looked forward to spending some time with her. I was a privileged and blessed "nephew-in-law" to know her, and my daughter, Sam, thought the world of her. We truly miss her.

Truly one of the most amazing people I've had the privilege of knowing for so many years. Everyone thought they were Jo's favorite and everyone was right. She made all feel loved and special. I will miss her sweet hugs.
