Jo,

Everyone has taken the words right out of my mouth.  I feel so grateful being accepted into your life.  You are not just an instructor but a friend also.  By being that rose in our garden, it makes us want to learn and create more and more.  Thank you for taking me from ground level and helping me get to the second floor.  I know that your patience and skill will help me get up to the higher floors.  I've told you before that I think you are a truly amazing lady and, by far, the most patient one I've ever known.  Through your generosity we all have a wide base of friends in our groups.  When I'd lost interest in the things that I used to do that brought me joy and began to accept that as a way of life along came JO.  Truly a great inspiration, you have put the joy back into my life.

 

Thank you for being you and sharing your life, skills, and generosity with us.  You will live in my heart and mind for as long as I am on this earth.

 

Hugs,

Anita
