In Loving Memory of Jo West
This morning, I received a very sad e-mail. It was sent by Kim, telling me that her mother, Jo West, had passed away, peacefully just a few hours earlier, with her cat, Willow, by her side, that she had adopted from us in 2003. I began crying and then I called Kinky to tell him the sad news. He was devastated just as I was, because Kinky, Tony and I loved this incredibly great woman so much!
Jo was a personal hero to me, and I will never forget her, nor will Tony and Kinky. We were so fortunate, to call her our friend, and we will miss her terribly. We love you, Jo.
