Jo was sure a special person. I house sat for her for a number of years when she and Jack were still traveling back and forth and my husband and I visited with them in Arizona. My daughter loved her and Jo took her to a star hawk gathering. Even though I hadn´t spoken to her for several years her absence will leave a hole in my universe. Sending compassion!
