I had a dream last night 12/7/25, that I was talking with Jo, it made me search my old friend, I can't say how sad I am to learn of her passing. Rest in peace Jo, you'll always be remembered fondly as our "Coffee Cup grandma", I always think of you whenever I hear Bobby Caldwell's " What are you doing New Year's Eve". Pat and family, you have my deepest sympathy and condolences, your mom/grandma was one of a kind.
