I have know Jo for longer than I can remember. We met at Potter Elementary School when she was a new Kindergarten Teacher. Our friendship grew and we shared many experiences and laughs. She and I began golfing together at that time. Although we drifted apart in these past fifty years, we always tried to keep in touch with each other. My heart goes out to Jo's family and my prayers are with you at this time of loss. I know each one of her girls carry many of Jo's traits with them. Jo...

I was fortunate enough to have Mrs. Sredich as my beloved kindergarten teacher. Her kindness and positivity were formative for me and so many of my young student peers. Her love for teaching even extended to my own children, to whom I would read alphabet books given to us by Mrs. Sredich. She was a wonderful teacher, and an even better human being. She always had an infectious smile and a kind heart. I always enjoyed being able to see her and say hello when I would visit my childhood...

I met Jo through her wonderful daughter, Kris. Jo was warm and friendly and so much of her kindness and interest seemed to radiate. I can still see the two together, Jo and daughter Kris---two compassionate teachers. It is a blessing to have met her and to know how much goodness she has left in the world. A warm hug to daughter Kris and all the family.

Mrs. Sredich was my kindergarten teacher. Some of my favorite memories of school are of her and being in her class. She taught me how to count (in Spanish too!) I remember singing the 12 days of Christmas for all of the parents. One time she let me bring in my Snoopy record to play for the class and let us all dance. She was, is, and always will be a very special person to me. God bless you Mrs. Sredich!
