Mom Jo was a lovely lady who put our Masonic youth first. She also worked hard for Amaranth Diabetes and had recently received an award from the American Diabetes Association for her efforts. She put in 110% in everything she belonged to. She will be truly missed. Sympathy to Phillip and her family.
