Thank you for all your lovely messages and condolences following the sad passing of Jo. As you would imagine, we are all devastated but strengthened by the overwhelming outpouring of love and support for us all.

Jo’s funeral will be held at Rawdon Crematorium on Friday 4th July @ 3.15pm. We are aware that Jo knew lots of people and was really cherished. We are limited in seating numbers at Rawdon, so attendance regrettably will be for family and close friends. However, if you would still like to be part of Jo’s service and pay your respects, the ceremony will be live streamed. Please message me on Facebook if you would like to join online, with a short note on how you knew Jo.

After the service we will be joining together at Newall Carr Rd, Otley LS21 2AU for refreshments and to raise a glass or maybe two) to Jo. Please feel free to attend and meet her family and share your memories from 5.30pm

If you would like to send a gift in memory of Jo, we are collecting for the Hug on a Tray charity, based in Otley, who do invaluable work supporting all Haematology disorder patients at St James Hospital, Leeds. We have been supported by them since her diagnosis last October. 

A link to donate is here https://gofund.me/58565dc3   Many thanks in anticipation of your support to such a worthwhile cause. This collection together with plates available at the ceremony and the Yew Tree will be gifted to Hug on a Tray when a total amount is known. Thank you, Richard Foxton.
