We will certainly miss Tante Jo. She was such an upbeat,smart,full of spunk & loved life type lady. Bill loved talking by the hour with her about the Heerschap family history.She was such a wealth of information & shared with us her childhood memories in Holland. We have great memories to cherish about this wonderful lady. Until we meet again Tante Jo! xo
