Echo Jo.
Jambo, My hunka sister.
You have one of the biggest heart of anyone i ever met. I am so thankful for all the love we shared for each other. Your energy definitely can't be replaced. My goofy girl. I can hear your laugh with almost every memory even when we're yelling lol just down all the time and your infectious smile. I miss your encouragement on anything.
You loved your kiddos so much and always put them first.
Every cook out, park visit, ride a longs,...
