My deepest condolences prayers for the family. Jo as we knew her was a very special lady to my wife and I. Her and my wife had a special relationship as our realtor in Midland as Jo helped us sell 3 houses and buy 3 houses in Midland. She knew my wife well and knew what my wife liked and wanted in a house. Jo was very patient and never tried to sell us a house unless it was just the right house. She will be truly be missed. I can almost imagine the reunion in haven with my wife and many friends and loved ones that have preceded her. Wesley Watson
