Our dearest vet, mentor and friend. Our world is brighter because of you. Dearly missed; but your beautiful spirit will be with us forever, so it is not goodbye but yet till we meet again. Love always, your Cleland Crew xx

I didn't really know Jo later on in life. We went to Primary school together. The funeral was nice, she had such an interesting life and lovely friends. I sort of knew the things that would be said, it didn't surprise me when the Goodies played tbh. Even though you don't know of people as grownup, as I child I knew she would have an interesting life, she was so determined and smart. I had no idea … Read more

I didn't really know Jo later on in life. We went to Primary school together. The funeral was nice, she had such an interesting life and lovely friends. I sort of knew the things that would be said, it didn't surprise me when the Goodies played tbh. Even though you don't know of people as grownup, as I child I knew she would have an interesting life, she was so determined and smart. I had no idea she loved Enid Blyton so much, looking back though I remember her telling me how she had read hundreds of her books I am sure of it, this would have been in Grade 2. I always thought if she was a character in those books she would be George from the Famous Five. I wasn't aware she had cancer until recently, I saw that a mutual friend had posted about this on fb, it is very sad. Wish I had better words to write.

In memory of an incredible, generous and delightful human. I am sure I’m one of many who have been gifted, through admiring Jo, with the inspiration to live with more passion, kindness, joy and authenticity. I am so glad our paths crossed again after Vet School. Xx

Thinking of you all, even though we have not met. I think I found Jo's blog through her sister (a fellow medical mum) when I was diagnosed with Br Ca last year. Jo's beautiful way of describing her experience was so helpful to me, so thankyou xx

Remembering days at Knightsbridge Playgroup and reconnecting at Stradbroke Scouts. With loving thoughts Jo, Simon and your boys as you make precious memories together. From Judy.

Jo, we will miss your passion and dedication to all things wildlife.

Thank you for all you have achieved in your life, you were an amazing and kind hearted soul.

Thank you Jo for all your care of our native animals, it is so appreciated. Even by total strangers. For your family......

Rest peacefully Jo, much love to your family 😔

I’m so sorry to hear the horrible news… RIP doctor 😢

Thinking of you and your family at such a tragic time.
