Our hearts are saddened with the passing of this sweet lady, her smile brightened so many lives , knowing Jo from our Hairdressing days , I feel I have great memories of her , God received another angel on Tuesday and we know she will always be with her family, maybe not physically but she will, in her own way let them know that she is there. Her loves will stay with all of us through her daughter and family. We never say goodbye, we say, until we meet again.
