Ms. Colter was the first person to speak to me and welcome my family when I moved into her son's neighborhood. She was always smiling and quick to wave and say hello when visiting and has been missed greatly since she stopped coming by. My thoughts and prayers for Joseph and the family.
Jo was a wonderful person. Always fun to be around. May she rest in Heaven.
Our deepest sympathy to Jo's family and friends.
