Jo was my younger sister. Because we lived on opposite sides of the country, we didn't see each other often, but we had long telephone conversations - at least once a month - about family, politics, religion, activities, anything on our minds.
She was vivacious, with expressive, flashing eyes. She was strong, independent, and loyal to family and friends. She made friends easily. Through organizations she belonged to she had a very positive effect on many people.
Jo's husband, Jim, died 23 years, to the day, before she did. God grant that they're happily together again.
I will forever miss you, Jo.
