Jo always remembered birthdays, aniversaries, Easter, New Years day, etc. I could always expect to
find a card, such as this one, on the counter in the kitchen, next to the coffee-maker, where she knew I would see it as soon as
I got up in the morning. In addition, she remembered to send cards to all of her relatives and friends, without fail. We will all
miss those expressions of her love.by Ralph Cooper 9-24-08 Today when I read GOOD, underlined for emphasis, it brought tears to my eyes once again. |

DODGER FAN
"There are things we'll always remember about Jo. We'll remember that Dodgers cap she wore every Sunday. I teased her about it
sometimes, but y'know, that's her team. On her last day, in her last moments, Ralph put that cap on her and she wore it to the end. It
was cremated along with her."An extract from the memorial service by Maria Tafoya September 30, 2007 COMMENT
This morning, it was announced on the TV that the Dodgers won their second game in a series, apparently
an unusual victory for them. That was enough to start me crying. I thought how much it would have meant to Jo. If she had been
here, she would have been glued to the TV, snacking on a hot dog with half a beer, identifying with the crowd at the stadium. She
would have been shouting with the rest of the crowd when a play was successful and grieving at every failure. She would be criticizing
the announcers. It was one of her favorite pastimes.
