Aunt Jo was always a wonderful person to be around. I can remember visiting her as a small child with my grandmother to her lovely home on 1714 Johnston Street. She would serve hot tea, coffee and cocoa along with her delicious Jelly Rolls. She was a very creative woman, made me a large ceramic Easter Egg basket when I was 6. I still have it, 30 years later! I love to take it out at Easter time and turn it over and see her name scratched into the bottom of the porcelain. She also made clothes for my dolls out of old scraps of fabric that most people would just throw away. I still have them and treasure them as well.
One funny story I can remember is being around 7 or 8 and my Grandmom and I went to visit Aunt Jo on a Saturday. Aunt Jo had bought Buttercream Krimpets because she knew I was coming. As I got ready to eat them, I turned over the packet of Krimpets and rubbed the frosting onto the cellophane (as any good Philadelphian knows to do!) and Aunt Jo asked what I was doing. "Making the frosting stick, Aunt Jo!" I said. She laughed and told me that she learned something from me that day. I will always remember her warm hugs and kisses.
