So very Sad to hear of the Loss of this Amazing Lady .Sincerest Condolences to her family. My own mother ,Margaret was her eldest sister. My earliest memories were happy ones ,running along that hallway and up those stairs of that home on Paradise Row. That clock in the kitchen ,the cookie jar on the counter, the sounds of Church Chimes beyond that same window on Sunday mornings. Beloved Auntie Jo teaching us how ,by example, to be respectful, kind ,generous .considerate of others in addition to how to read .For Our Auntie Jo, teaching was far more than just a job ,it was a Vocation , a Calling, A Lifelong Commitment .I know exactly what Jo meant to my own Mother because my Mom often spoke lovingly of her family .We learned lessons on how to be respectful of Elders, considerate of those with Mental Health Issues, how to work for the betterment of those who needed a hand up, how to work within the system to bring about Change with Justice and Compassion for All .Lesson I tried to teach my own Sons and daughters. Rest in Peace Auntie Jo and Thank You
