Mr & Mrs Brenda Jones

Dearest Jo, As I think of you in this strange and wonderful life that we all share, everyone’s journey is different and yet linked by the connections we make and the love we feel for one another. You made so many of those connections and it has been a joy to witness how you were loved and revered. In your own inimitable style you have touched the lives of so many. We shared those magic years of reckless fun, much too bawdy to recount here, but those that were there hold onto those moments and revel in the telling. Each of us are merely passing through. Fifty years on from those days your light is still as bright. From beginning to end you have been my friend. Till we meet again, shine on Jo! Love Mal xx

Ms Maralyn Plumb

Josie, Your life has been a great kaleidoscope of so much talent, colour and great passion for the arts. I honestly do not know how you fitted it all in. You will be so missed by us all. RIP Jo xxx

Mr Richard Braybrook

Dear Josie, we're sure you are already giving Albert a big hug. Please don't try and teach him ballet though! Missing you hugely, but 'Glad All Over', thinking about our memories and that you are no longer suffering. Blowing you lots of farewell kisses, just like you blew them to us. We would say sleep tight, but we know you wouldn't resist a dance with the angels for long! Jim and Alison xxxxx

Mr Jim Coote
