Kirkendall family,
I should first tell you who I am and how I knew Jo. I had been her Schwan's driver for the last year. She had a smile that I would look forward to seeing every other Tuesday morning. I have met very few people in my life that had the concern for others that Jo possesed. She would always ask about my family and always tell me to "drive safe". Jo was funny. She never ordered anything for her self. It was Bombpop popcicles for the boys, a pie (usually cherry) for the unexpected guest, and dinner rolls for Buck.
God be with you until we meet again friend.
Your friend,
Brandt
