Dear Brian, Lori, and family,
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Jo. What a kind and special lady she was.
I remember meeting her for the first time at a basketball practice that she took Chris to in elementary school, and we got to know her at the many sporting and family events we attended over the years.
We send our love and prayers to you and your family.
Love, Mike and Lori Williams
