My heart goes out to you and your lovely family. May I share my favourite poem with you and wish and your family the best for the future.
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours
I am so sorry to hear this. I came across Jo's site via facebook recently, and bought her album. Her youtube film touched my heart. I send you all lots of love. c x
I'm so sad to hear that Jo has gone. I knew her years ago at Chi College- we sang together on stage in France and I have great memories of rehearsals. She was always upbeat, professional and encouraging and immensely talented. It's horrible that she's been taken but I'm so glad that she was obviously so loved and inspired and could express this through her music. It is an honour to have known her, allbeit briefly- she burned very brightly. Love to all who loved her...

Just wanted to share my sincere love and condolences to you and your beautiful daughter.
I've thought of you both often and wondered how Jo was. We met a few times at the Mac Centre in Portsmouth, i'm Nici - the one who was organising your sailing trips.
don't really have the words to make it any easier for you Matt other than - hold on to what you had and rejoice in Jo and you for what you were. some people just can't be here forever and i hope you can one day find comfort in the life and happier times that you both shared.
with my love and warm wishes to you and your families

Sending you lots of love, hugs, prayers and sympathy. My daughter died from breast cancer 18 months ago. It doesn't get any easier but your ability to cope will increase and you will be strong because Jo was so strong.
