“Dear Dale, Drew & Deanna, and Jake. Jo had a radiant presence and we loved any chance to connect. We felt blessed that Daniel had her as another "mother." He loved being in her family. Jo lifted him up with her kindness, humor, love and acceptance. She is gone too soon and although her earthly life was cut short, her spirit will live on in all of you, and most certainly in our hearts. Prayers for strenth and healing, until we see her again! Becky & Eric Trierweiler (Daniel and Tina too!)”

“I met Jo my freshman year at CMU in 1975. Although we didn't see each other often over the years, hearing from Jo always impressed upon me how lucky I was to have made so many great memories with her and assured me, that no matter how much space and time separated us, Jo would forever be one of my dearest friends.”

LRE wrote a sympathy message

“Dearest Dale, Jake, Drew, Deanna, Lilliana, Rose & Family, Tony & Family: My deepest sympathy. Jo loved all of you immensely. Her laugh and smiles lit up the room. All our lives will never be the same. Her sense of dignity was never so tested nor so well demonstrated when she received her fatal diagnosis. Jo fought hard and when she realized the fight was over, she worried about all of you instead of herself Her greatest joy was meeting her Granddaughter Lily. Goodbye my dearest friend. Debbie”
