Aunt Jo was the best Aunt and an incredible human being! She was kind, caring and funny. I loved her laugh. I spent a lot of time with her, Uncle Don, and Rick as a child and I have wonderfully vivid memories of them. She was the rock of the family. She's with the rest of her immediate family now and she will be missed so very much!
