Debbie,
I just heard a few minutes ago about Jo from Tonya, my deepest sympathy to you both…..Jo was very special to us and always was. She ALWAYS told me how it was, straight up, especially when it came to life in general. She was our friend, and will ALWAYS be with us, and you. I enjoyed her company, especially when she was laughing, straight faced, but still laughing. Great memories of a GREAT LADY…..Again, our deepest sympathy.

Lisa and Deb, we were so sorry to hear about Jo’s passing. She was so sweet and I will always remember her coming over to eat lunch with Mom and me. She was trying to be her friend and I appreciated that so much. She love you two so much, and was so lucky to have you. Know that we will keep you in our prayers during this difficult time. Remember her in your hearts as she was when she was well . She was such a trooper. God bless!
So sorry for your loss. My Mama was her roommate at Lifecare about 2 years ago. She was a very sweet lady. My Mama (Inez Allen) also passed recently on Oct.6. They are in a much better place now.
