Jo was one of the first people to welcome me into the CPS back in 1992 in the Bootle office. Before it became a thing Jo was inclusive inviting me along for lunch with her and Ruth, whilst I wasnt in that office long I will never forget the kindness Jo and Ruth showed me. That was typical of Jo she touched so many people which was reflected by the large number of people at her funeral. Whilst our careers took different paths it was great to work with Jo again more closely over the past 4 years. Jo was so positive and so dignified in her battle with cancer that I genuinely didnt expect this outcome. I was so pleased for Jo when she became the ABM a role she thoroughly deserved and had worked hard for. I send my heartfelt condolences to Si, Becky, Jack, Izzy, Maureen and James you are in my thoughts, wishing you comfort and peace in the days ahead. Jo will be dearly missed by so many xxx
