She was a wonderful woman to work with and made me feel as welcome in her house as in my own. I'll always remember her great cooking and loving personality. But most of all how she used to keep her son Anthony and Myself in line back in High School! May she always live on in our hearts and memories.

From the moment I met Jo, we had a connection. I saw her determination while fighting her disease and her unending love for her family. No matter how bad she was feeling, she always had a smile or a kind word to say when she came into our office. She had a great sense of humor. I will cherish her memory and keep her and her family close in my heart. She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed.

Mrs. Caporale, you were a "wonderful" neighbor! I have many memories growing up and just "hanging out" at your house. You were a great Mom to your kids and to everyone who knew you....you will be missed! Now you are at peace; and in no more pain. Say "hello" to my Dad up in Heaven... Sharon (Blaney) Jezowit
