Jo is one of my dearest friends. Two days before my wife, Renee, and I were to be married, our officiant had to bow out leaving us scrambling to find a replacement. I recalled Joann telling us about how she officiated her mom's wedding and we called her to see if she would conduct our ceremony. There was never any question in her mind that she would do us this favor, even with such little notice, and she did a magnificent job.
One of the best things I love about this woman is her booming laugh. She loves to have fun and is not shy about letting everyone know she's having a good time. We've been friends approaching 20 years and as far as we're concerned, she's part of our family!
