Though it's not how I addressed her on the daily, it's who she always was/is...Auntie Jojo. I can't remember a single Thanksgiving or Christmas that wasn't spent without JoJo's infectious love and laughter radiating throughout the room. Everyone who knew her would agree that her smile and her happiness really were infectious! I am a lucky girl to have learned so much from this incredible vibrant woman. She, along with my mother and others helped mold me into the woman I am today. She taught me how to fold fitted sheets, set a proper table, and most importantly she taught me how to make the oh so secret CHOCOLATE PIE (which will be left to me and Jordan to make every year now....we got this Jordi)! She taught me to value my job and how important it is to have a good work ethic. She taught me about nails and hair. She traveled near and far to spend birthday's and important milestones in my life with me and my family. For all of these things, I am forever grateful!! While her time here on this earth was short, I know she will live on! So many happy wonderful memories will keep AUNTIE JOJO alive in all our hearts. My very last memory of JoJo was after dinner a couple weeks ago, watching her dig through a big HUGE bowl of hard candy the whole time talking about how she was "helping us out", helping us get rid of all the sweets in the house! She knew us SO well and will be greatly missed! A message to JoJo- I can't believe you aren't here with us anymore. I thought we had more time! I love you so much! Rest in total and complete Peace sweet angel and don't worry about Dean, we will take good care of him!! xoxo p.s. Lula was sitting here on the keyboard crying the entire time I was sitting here writing this...she will miss you too!
