My amazing friend…..Happy Birthday . Miss you sooooo much

Smart, funny Jo and sweet Millie—we are missing you both today. Jo, you would be amazed at how often I think of you. Take care of all the folks, just as you always have ❤️.

Thinking of Jo on her birthday and remembering so many happy times with her.

Happy Birthday, my Darling. Thinking of you, now with Millie on your lap. My two ladies.

Happy Birthday to the inimitable Jo.
Luv you, Girl!

Four lonely years without your lively presence have gone by Jo. But I take comfort in happy memories and the hope of meeting you again in heaven.

Jo -
I sent you an angel yesterday, when I said goodbye to Millie. She rests in your arms now.
I love you both.

To Jo (and Millie).............
The Ones we love never go away. They walk beside us even on this day. 
Unseen, unheard, yet always near. 
Still loved, still missed.....and very dear.

How can I feel like you are still so large in my life, yet know that you have moved on? Missing you today..♥️

Years are flying by and the pain of the hole Jo’s passing has left in my heart still aches. That alone is a tribute to how much of an amazing woman and friend Jo was. “Love you lots!”

Miss you so much my bestest friend. Happy Birthday !

Happy 4th Birthday in Heaven my beautiful mother. I hope you're dancing with Angels!  I wish we were granted one phone call to heaven so I could hear your voice one last time and tell you how much I love and miss you. 

Happy Birthday on this brilliant winter day! You are often in my thoughts, dear Jo. Love, Mary

I have many of your birthdays in my heart, which make this one happy, too.
Happy Birthday, Sweetheart.

Jo always knew how to light up a room.
HB my dear friend.

I miss you more than words can say.  I really miss being able to talk to you about everything.  You didn't always give me the advice I wanted to hear but you told me what I needed to hear.  I know you're one of my guardian angels mom.  I love you always and forever. Say Hi to Grandpa, Grandma, Tim, Terry, and Cheryl.  One day we will all be together again. 

Jo. Nice lady. We all miss her,

Pat

Dear Jo, we all miss you so much. You brought so much fun and excitement into my life. I will never forget.

Sitting on the shore of the ocean at the Isle of Iona, Scotland, and pondering all of our good times together. I miss your friendship and lovely voice as much as ever. Wish I could pick up the phone and share with you all that we are seeing here.
Love you, and miss you, to pieces my amazing friend ❤️

Jo,

Whoever you hold in the heart of you, is forever and always a part of you.

Miss you, my Friend......

miss you, Jo

Love to you today and always. What a legacy you have left!

On this anniversary of your final day with me
my heart again aches, my warm tears flow.
No longer from grief, but from my longing to be
again with you, my Sweetheart, my beautiful Jo.
We will dance.

Missing my friend Jo, Gary

Love you Jo. Pat

There are some who bring a light so great to the world, that even after they have gone, the light continues to shine brilliantly.
Such is the magnanimous, indelible essence that is.........Jo.

December 7th rolls around and I know it's Auntie Jo's birthday. She loved birthdays, everyone's birthday. Loved to get those birthday calls from her.

Happy Birthday in heaven my dear friend. i think about you everyday. How you are missed!

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. I know Heaven has been brighter, with your smile and laughter. I love and miss you Jo.

I like to picture you talking and laughing with with our loved ones, wherever you are up there. Have a latte triple shot, on me! I love and miss you, Sista Jo.

Oh my dear friend! Miss you so much every day! Happy birthday! I’ll blow out a candle for you !! ❤️ You and miss you!! 

And while you lie in peaceful sleep.....
Jo...your sweet memory we shall always keep......
xoxo

Good, strong memories of Aunt Jo still flit in my mind. It is nice to read these tributes. I miss her too.

I , too, think of you everyday. I usually think, "oh how she would laugh at this or that". I love you, you are truly missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are truly Missed by Many! You will always be my Mother in Law, I Love You!

It’s been 2 years since you left and I still think about you daily. You gave me so much more than an amazing friendship. Such a hole left in my heart. I am reminded daily of you when I use any one of the many gifts you have given me over the years.

Jo gave me a tiny spoon souvenir from her wonderful trip through Europe. I keep it perched near my desk with some other keepsakes, all of which help me remember special people and special times. Thinking tonight of how special Jo is to me. ❤️

Hi Everyone,
When I feel alone, there is always the memories of good times and happiness shared with the ones I love. Jo was always listening and still is!

Yesterday I was going through some old papers and found an email that my son Chris wrote to Jo in 2011. Part of it reads :
"Thank you so much for being the bridge between generations. It is so important and I'm really happy that you have taken on this responsibility. I love to share my life with the ones that I love and I feel closer to you when I do because we never see each other! It's important isn't it? "

When I read this I was reminded how much Jo meant to all of us and indeed, she was a bridge for our family. Happy birthday dear Jo. I hope you are celebrating with Mom and that you are being a bridge up there in heaven.

My dearest friend. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Miss you so so much! 

Happy Birthday!

December 7. First thing we thought of was Sweet Jo's birthday. All good thoughts for our friend today.

Patrick Whitfield

Happy Birthday, Sweetheart. I miss you, my funny, beautiful companion.

Dear Ted........thinking of you and the adored Jo today.......a little more than usual.......xoxo

Thinking about you girlfriend! So much stuff I need your advice on.....

Well, Happiest of birthdays to our Jo! I would have loved to spend time with you chatting about this tsunami of a year. I have fond thoughts of you always, and miss you tonight.

I am sure that Jo visited me yesterday when I was moving some decorations and pictures around in the newly painted guest bedroom. Long ago, she gave my kids two beautiful hour glasses and I found new places to put them. As I tipped one over and watched the sand fall through, it reminded me of the good things that happen in life, and we should not waste a minute. Auntie Jo is missed!

I miss Jo all the time. The photos folks send are all good memories. A sad remembrance on such a nice day. Patrick Whitfield

365 days ago this amazing woman left and took a big chunk of my heart with her  What a wonderful loving friend. I was blessed to have had her in my life. I miss her every day ❗️

My dear Jo...........
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure.
You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.

Still yanking at my heartstrings one year later.........
