Giovanna GutierrezPlease accept my deepest condolences for Jo's passing. I had the opportunity to work with Jo a few years back and I was saddened to hear of her passing. Jo was full of life, always joking around, with great spirits and a smile. She was a really hard worker, and would take great care of her customers. She always had kind words and was always genuine. So very sorry for your loss.

Wendy & NorbertFor 27 years Jo Mama liked to sing, joked, and played with those who dined at GC, no matter who you were she made you feel at home. Jo was attentive and witty, a person who simply loved her job and the people to whom she served breakfast and lunch. My husband and I and the rest of her regulars from the "Breakfast Club" have enjoyed reminiscing about a woman with a heart as warm as the coffee she served. You can't say anything better about someone than to be loved by strangers. You will be missed my friend!
