I am a fellow ball player and wanted to let you know that I truly enjoyed getting to know Jo. It has been a lot of years ago now but those memories never go away. She will not be forgotten. I was deeply saddened to learn of Jo's passing. Praying that you will find peace in holding close all of your special memories!

Am sending love and sympathy to her loving family. May God be with you all.
