Our thoughts & prayers are with your family at this time. We are so sad to hear of Jo's passing. She was a great lady. I was on jury duty with Jo some years ago; we had some great talks together. Rich and his parents were long time clients at the office and knew Jo well. She will be dearly missed.

I am so sorry to learn of Jo's passing. I knew her as a very friendly and kind customer that I have served for years at Dayton's (Macys's). Many of us have been concerned about Jo because she hasn't been in for some time.

To Jo's family, I am so very shocked and saddened to hear of Jo's recent illness and passing. We were very close and saw one another often, but haven't connected for awhile, so I feel so badly that I wasn't aware that she was ill. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. Jo was an amazing woman, dear friend, and I know she was a wonderful mother and grandmother. Blessings, Pastor Deborah Birkeland

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jo's family at this time. My husband knew Jo through his parents (Lila & Clarence) and going to the office over the years. I got to know Jo during the short time we spent on jury duty together a few years ago; we sure had some good talks in those two weeks. She was a great lady.
