I have so many happy memories of my dear God Mother Jo - I will miss her happy voice at the end of the phone - she was a rock to me. I was lucky to have her in my life for 43 years - she taught me so much and I will miss her very much. All love Susie xx

What a truly wonderful lady. Growing up in Sussex often involved a Mew gathering with Jo there to welcome and entertain the crowds. Love to you all. P xx
