Jo and my mom Helen were great friends and shared laughter and tears together over the years. When mom was in the nursing home , Jo would write to Helen
regularly.... the funniest, chattiest letters that would make mom laugh out loud. I am sure they are both sharing a cup of coffee and a cigarette right now. Thank you Jo..you were special.

Jo had a great sense of humor. I can remember one co-worker saying "if I were ever on a desserted island I would want Jo there. She can smell food for 500 miles!" She was fun to work with and I always think of her fondly. DiJuancos and Mitchells enabled a lot of folks to be graced with her presence. Lucky us! Connie
