The pages of this edition of the Tribune are filled with stories and tributes to Jo Hall, one of the most incredible ladies with whom I had the pleasure to be associated.

Please bear with us at the Tribune for a while. We are broken and it will take some time to glue ourselves together again. We’ve lost our Jo, our friend, our mentor. Even though life goes on, it will be difficult for a while to work through the stages of grief.

Sometimes life hands us the opportunity to share words that come from our heart. When I heard the news that Jo had died I felt sad for her family and Yi, but relieved that her battle with sickness was over.
