Jo Jo my dearest friend and confidante. I will miss our weekly chats and your beautiful smile and cheerful voice. Forever in my heart.♥️
My first and lasting memory was Jo’s marriage to Bob. I was honoured to be the best man. Jo was young, happy and in love. My last memory was a few weeks ago. Jo and Bob were in Melbourne for a Gala dinner. We were all laughing and enjoying 50 years of friendship.
Jo, you were a part of my summers for such a long time x. In the beginning you were my parents friend and in time you became my beautiful friend xx you also became the robe grandmother to my children. We all loved you so much and will forever hold our memories so close. From our NYE parties with karaoke,sparklers and of course champagne ???? I love that we had so many years together and created so many beautiful memories. I will always remember you walking your laps of long beach with your Bobby XXX we love you forever x
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this grieving time. Jo’s memory will live on through the many people who loved and adored her. Rest in Peace XXXX
“Remembering beautiful Jo with a smile — her warmth, energy, and love for life were so special. I know Bobby, Kyle and Vanessa, Zac and Maddie, and her beloved grandchildren Ella, Ivy, Vera and Brooks will carry her spirit in their hearts forever. Wishing you all moments of comfort and joy as you share stories and cherish all the happy memories she gave you.” Rest Well sweet Joey. Love always Bert and Gabz
