So sorry to hear about Jo's passing. I was in a bridge group with her for years and years. What a great sense of humor she had. It was a delight being with her.

Jolie, Skip and Chris - Sorry for the loss of your mom. I know it was a complicated relationship but wanted you to know my heart was with you. Thanks Aunt Ko for making me the popcorn pie for my birthday. Rest in peace.
