Jo you become a special friend even attending my wedding and bringing the Francesca and a few other girls with you. Fran you were my first class such an amazing memory. Sending prayers and love to Paul, Al and Fran xx love carys

I am so going to miss you Mrs Cavalli. Sleep well my beautiful friend until we meet again.

They say that you can't pick your family only your friends, but I would pick you, Gio as my friend and I was truly lucky to have you as my cousin too. Missing your whatsapp texts so much, sleep tight, Mush! xxx

Amazing teacher to my son and myself and such a wonderful lady, will be sorely missed Vicky

An amazing lady and teacher .Mrs cavalli really helped my son who has autism when he reached her class in year 3 and that was the making of him ,her patience and kindness the way she understood him , and made extra time for him it really made a difference .

Met once in her Italian city along with her family, I was impressed by her kindness, strength and sweetness. 🌸💖

Such a lovely person who always had time for anyone, a kind considerate fabulous lady who has helped and guided so many children and adults. My thoughts are with her and family . Rest in peace lovely lady xx

We hope that you find this tribute to Jo a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
