Her responses are always insightful, compassionate, and founded on a solid knowledge base. Additionally, suggestions that may sound unsavory are made with tact and empathy. 

I am grateful she is here to keep us moving forward.

Who else appreciates Jo C?

    I do. Although I don't often comment here, I'm a regular lurker, and Jo's advice is always excellent.

    Ditto!  I am especially impressed at the way she can tactfully and graciously “redirect” posters when/if information meant to be helpful is misinterpreted or not readily accepted.  It’s an art for sure!

    Humor goes a long way with all the stress (and distress) that comes with the dementia territory. I really appreciate Jo C's sense of humor and levity to balance her consistently passionate, detailed input.

    I agree! I often feel I have nothing really helpful to say, so I'm always impressed with everything she has to offer. Thank you Jo C!

    Abolutely! I remember when I first joined the forum, and I saw her posts. I saw how long many of them were, and I didn't really realize what might be in them. But then when I read a few, I realized how packed they were with great information. Thank you for the excellent advice, Jo!!

    Thank you for your very kind words, they have touched me deeply especially coming from all of you.  I hold you all in such very high regard and close to my heart.  You have all taught me so much in many ways; especially with the caring examples of internal grace, perseverance, selflessness and kindness in reaching out to others in support and assistance even though in the midst of so many significant care issues within your own lives.
    This means so much; again, thank you.  I am truly honored to be amongst you and with you as we share and support one another.
