Jo
You are a very special person. The world has lost a truly blessed individual.
I will miss our weekly small faith gatherings and your wonderful contributions.
I met you over twenty years ago, and in that time I never heard you become angry and raise your voice. A gift we should all try to acquire.
Rest in peace dear lady.
