Thanks, we will all miss her so much and will never fill the void left by her passing away.

Hello Brian, she spoke very fondly of you and yes she even mentioned your fondness of nuts. She got a lot of comfort from these pages and it seems she also gave a lot of comfort to others, which really doesn't surprise me. I miss her so much.

Hi Caspercat so sorry for your loss. Jo was such a lovely woman towards me. She really helped me when I was first diagnosed and helped me understand that I could fight it. And it helped could I'm in remission a year later. I am very saddened by the news and will hold Jo in my dearest memories. Take care and everything will be alright -Diane x

Hi CasperCat,

Thank you so much fo replying. It cant have been easy for you. During Jo's three years on here she gave comfort and advice to so many people and despite not feeling well she still continued. I am sure many many people will have very fond memories of Jo and her kindness and great sense of humour.

I am sure you feel so lost at the moment and are suffering a huge range of emotions, but I hope you can take some comfort from the respect and admiration we all had for Jo. You yourself have also traveled a long hard road for it so hard watching someone you love suffer from this cruel disease. Anytime you feel the need to talk please come on here for It does help to talk.

Take care my friend, sending kind thoughts and best wishes your way, Brian.

God what can I say

Hi everyone,

It is testament to how much Jo put into the forum, with her support and helpful words that so many of her virtual friends have paid tribute. 

Whilst I chatted occasionally by private e-mail with  Jo, I never met her in person and was surprised to be asked by her partner Rob (Caspercat) to pay tribute here.  I am honoured to have carried out one of Jo's last wishes and thank everyone for adding their personal memories. As Rob faces a future without his beloved Jo I hope he finds some comfort here (as I have done) by reading the forum's tributes.

My own thoughts continue to be with Rob and Jo's family and friends at the saddest of times.

Thank you everyone for your very kind words, they really do give me immense comfort at this very difficult time. She told me a lot about this forum without going into too much details and it always filled me with great pride with the way she was able to offer support, comfort and wise words to others when she suffered so much herself. I can also see many of you on here offer the same support to each other as Jo gave. She truly was as wonderful and beautiful a person in reality as all her friends on here suspected she was in the virtual world. Thank you everyone.

Bless you Jo, RIP x

Caspercat, Rob,

May I belatedley offer you my sincere condolenses on the loss of your dear Jo. I only found out this last week when I returned to the forum after a spell away and heared the news from Jules.  

Jo was a wonderful lady and good friend albeit an internet one. I wish I could have met her as I am sure she would have been a treasure to know. I did infact invite her ( and you ) to visit on your way to Scotland once. It wasn't to be. 

My thoughts are with you and Jo's family.
