My sincere condolences to Jo Gables' family. I had the opportunity of working with her for many years, at the Bradley Library. I always knew her to be calm, efficient, and pleasant to work with. She must have been a joy to her family, and I'm sure you will miss her.

My condolences to family and friends. Take time to grieve and celebrate a life well-lived. The loss of a loved one is truly difficult no matter how long we have them with us, but remember Almighty God promises to be near to all those calling on him (Psalm 145:18)
