Hey my dear friend, 😭 I am so sorry I didn't know what happen to you and how it was happen.  Today, when I was woke up i hot an email and that was about your birthday. I was extremely happy that may be we could have little talk as we do . I remember your talk in past few years. I wish I could be there in your country and i wish I could meet you. You're such a beautiful ❤️ heart. You always strengthen me when i was weak. Thank you so much for being my friend. We shared our thoughts, problems, resolutions, happy moments, sad moments, but you always smile and go through this journey.You are such a very good person. I will always remember you, you stay in my heart. God give peace to  your soul and strength to your family. 😭💔 Whereever you are i wish you stay happy. 

i wish i could be there but i have a Chemo appointment at this time. Jo lost her fight but i am still fighting. Jo was supposed to outlive me so i long ago made her the executor of my estate. she was 4 years younger than me. i missed her first steps but we had many moments together. including getting lost in White Center chasing the sound of an ice cream truck. camping on the farm in Arlington and at our uncle Wayne's place in Twisp. Thanksgiving in Puyallup. and many other visits. years ago i wanted to drive her up to the Windy Ridge Lookout at Mt St Helens but we could never find the time. i wonder what will happen to the family genealogy records that Jo was storing from my mothers research. hugs to all who attend eventually i will see you again to give real hugs.
