You don't think something like this can happened to ordinary people. Jo was a person who was street-smart as well as book-smart. She knew how to handle people, how to get them to trust her and open up to her. She knew how to get out of any situation that came along. That is until this one. It makes you stop and think about your own life, and how vulnerable you really are. Jo will be missed by so many people. She touched a little something in everyone that she met. She had a bubbly personality that made you like her instantly. Full of smiles and laughter, she always saw the bright side of a situation while dealing with the darker side. From the first time I met Jo, she treated me like a sister, and even though her brother and I got divorced, we were still close. Everyone called her "Jo Momma" and she loved it. The last time I saw her, she had gotten a belly button ring and was so proud of it!
