I served with Jo as an officer in the Sacred Heart Altar Society & shared alot of laughs with her & my husband, Joe worked along side Tom over at Sacred Heart Parish. Jo was a wonderful role model for us younger mothers & I have only the fondest of memories of her. May God Bless Her Soul & Grant Jo Eternal Rest.
