I was so sorry to miss the service.
Jo and I spent a good number of years running accross the country
to one soccer meeting or another. We got some good memories out of those trips and I have a neat photo of Jo, Marge, Bernadette and me in
New Orleans 1985 just before we went
down the Mississippi on a stern
wheeler. Guess what, I am back to doing it again. I attended the
USSF AGM recently and was so excited when they actually talked
about the US Women’s National Team
without having to be reminded. Finally making some progress after
only 28 years!
Please accept my deepest sympathy
on this loss of your Mother. She
was a good friend and the world will
not be as warm without her.
Janet
Many memories, my thoughts are with you.
May your memories bring you comfort at this sad time…Wish I could be there with all of you…
Was so sorry to hear about JoJo’s death. I remember her as quite a pistol on the soccer field who always had a big smile. And drove a really big car. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this emotional time.
