Sending all of our love to Jo’s family during this difficult time.

Jo,

You were an absolute ray of sunshine to be around and I was so lucky to have met you. Not only being a friend at work, but also being the best mum to Mr Pickles.
We miss your laughter, your humour and most of all the love you gave to everyone around you.

Amy & Joe xx

Joanne was one of the kindness people I've ever met in my life
She was an amazing mum and amazing partner
She would always put others before herself never once complaining as long as everyone else was happy
I can't begin to express the way the world feels without Joanne she is missed every second of every day

Jo you will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts and missed more than words can ever say
