Sorry to hear of your passing, we kind of lost touch after leaving school. But during those years at St Peters I spent a few weekends etc at your house Redmond St Gore. Sympathies to your family and sorry I was unable to attend your memorial service in Gore ......RIP

I was deeply saddened to learn of Jo's death.Jo has contributed much to the disability sector over the years.Jo will be missed by all those who knew her. Rest in peace Jo.

Jo will be missed by many, I was fortunate to know her and share some good times. I am sad for your loss, rest in peace Jo.

Jo,

I didn't know you well. But I knew you well enough to know you will leave a gaping hole in the reporting on disability issues. You were a rare voice of knowledge, reason, and common sense. I extend that loss to the wider health arena where I know your reports influenced.

Rest in peace and fly high.
