A candle has been lit

“Today I saw that Jo had passed over a year ago when I went to her FB page to post a belated birthday message. I am so very sorry for your loss. Jo & I met at a grief support group 30+ years ago in Florida after she lost Julie & I lost my 31 year old brother. Though our loses we’re different, we bonded in our losses. We spent many breakfasts, lunches, dinners & special events together. What fun & a blessing she was! Jo was so proud of her family & loved you all so much. I will never forget her.💔”
