I am terribly sorry for the news. Because I live abroad I found out about her passing today...
I remember her warmth and smile and her beautiful house in Pasadena. Her family was always warm to me. As a young girl, she was a great flute teacher and was very patient with me when I didnt really know how to speak English.
Thank you Jo and rest in peace.
