Jo was one of the great jugglers..and she was smiling all the time. She juggled old promised dates with new demands every day at Bagcraft. She juggled some of the most critical personalities from sales and office and always tried her best to solve the challenges. She was a winner and friend. I still remember how proud she was when her son became a policeman and prouder still as her daughter (in-law) also joined the force. My friends on the force told me a long time ago that they were both on the roads to high rank and it looks like they (so far) have made it to Capt. and Sgt. Good for the family!. But, still sad for us all that Jo has gone.
