Goodbye aunt Jo. You were a very special person in my life. Someone who always made me feel welcomed, even though I only got home once a year. You always made me feel loved and a part of the family. I will always cherish that love and kindness you showed to us all.
To the cipolone family, I am very saddened by all of our loss.

To the Cipolone family:

I received Aunt Jo into my Family as a result of her marriage to my Uncle Mike, my Dad’s youngest Brother. I knew from the start that she had to be “Special“, as it took so long for Uncle Mike to find that “Special Girl” to be his Wife. As time went on however, we knew that Uncle Mike had finally found that “Special Girl“.

From early on, Uncle Mike and Aunt Jo made all of their nieces and nephews feel like they were very important to them. They were always there for us in both happy times and sad times, with whatever they could do.

I particularly remember one time after my dad died in February 1972, my Mother was in the hospital in May of 1978, after suffering a very serious stroke. Uncle Mike and Aunt Jo would constantly call and ask if there was anything they could do to help me, my brother, and my sisters. I would always say, “Not right now, but it is comforting to know that you both are there if we need you”.

After Uncle Mike died, Aunt Jo carried on the tradition of always being there for us.

With Aunt Jo’s passing, my family has said goodbye to our last surviving Aunt or Uncle from both my Mother's and Father’s generation. We take comfort in knowing however, that Aunt Jo lived a long and happy life. She will be very missed by all of the Conroy family. Until we meet again Aunt Jo and Uncle Mike, may you Rest in Peace and may God hold you in the Palms of his Hands. “Erin Go Braugh”!!!

My name is Christopher Musulin. My father, Dr. Nicholas Musulin, was Mike Conroy's dearest friend, a friendship that lasted for over thirty years until his death in 1974. Mike was my Godfather, and Aunt Jo was my Godmother.
From my birth in 1962 through Mike's death in the early 1980's, we spent almost every holiday with Mike and Jo, including Christmas, Thanksgiving and July the Fourth, to name a few. I visited their house on 821 Bergen Street several times a year, and remember Memorial Day parades down the main street, Phillies games at Shibe Park and trips to the Port Authority facility with Uncle Mike and Aunt Jo. In fact, I actually sat in my living room with Aunt Jo in July, 1969, and we witnessed man landing on the moon,
Up until she moved out of her home, despite some physical challenges and health issues, every time we visited, the dining room table was covered with food, and she insisted I have a can of beer, no matter what the time of day. Always sweet, polite and so full of genuine love for me and my brothers, who she called "her boys". And yes, she sent me a handwritten note on my birthday with a twenty dollar bill inside, for a "coffee break". I still have several of them in my family memory book.

To say Aunt Jo was an important part of my life is an enormous understatement. The fondest memories of my childhood include both Aunt Jo and Uncle Mike. I will never forget them, and take this opportunity to express all the love , respect and admiration a human can confer on another. She will remain in my heart and prayers forever.

Aunt Jo, I will never forget how special you made me feel growing up. The special times spent with you and Grandmom having tea. You have always had a special place in my heart and you will be greatly missed. Give Grandmom and Grandpop a kiss and hug from me. Love Lisa

Aunt Jo, You were always such a special Aunt and made everyone feel so good just being around you. One thing for sure Uncle Mike is so happy to have his Josephine back. You will be seeing lots of wonderful people when to get to Heaven, Please give Joe a big kiss for me and tell him I will always love him.
