Oh my goodness, Chase and Danielle – we just heard the news. I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. I have truly enjoyed my talks with her over the last few years and being able to visit across the yard. Please let me know if there is anything you need. Love to you both and your extended family, too.

I knew Jo from the early 70’s. Saw her as was working near her about 4-5 years ago and we met and had a cup of coffee and did some catching up. So am in the area again and thought I’d call- I’m so sad. RIP my dear friend!
