Your mother was a wonderful person. I worked with Jo for many years and have to say it was more fun than work. We quickly found out that her Italian heritage and mine had many similarities. We always laughed about it and kidded that if it would not be long before we found out we were related. I will always think about her when I make my Sunday gravy and meatballs. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family that she adored.
