Sad News

[NO MERGER 20]

It is with great sadness that I advise you of the passing of Jo - well known for attending our Demonland Footy Forum matches over the last few seasons.

It's hard not to miss her - she was the only female to put on the Dees jumper, help out with umpiring, water fetching or running the boundary. I'm sure some of you remember her from our most recent of forum matches.

Jo fought a short battle with cancer, aged 34. She will be missed.

What was her name on Demonland, i have been unable to attend footy matches.

sad that such a thing happens at a young age...

I don't believe she was a member of our forum, but was pretty much at every forum match we had to always give us a hand. Very fit, very active, taken away so quickly.

Thanks for that...it is so sad that cancer can be so aggressive, so quickly.

Terrible to hear. I did not know of her, but it is so sad to hear of someone passing at any age, but especially so young. I'm 31, and it truly is a scary thought. My condolences to all her family and friends.

was she short? i remember playing in one of the matches and she did boundary umpire? i might be wrong but?

[Allus Monk 568]

What a horrible, horrible, unfair, non-discriminatory thing cancer is.

Any time you have an opportunity, and can afford even a tiny bit, please support the anti-cancer initiatives MFC (and others) get involved in. We in the MFC community seem to have been touched more than most recently.

Every bit helps.

RIP Jo.

That is very sad to hear. Condolences to her family and friends our thoughts are with you R.I.P.

Such sad and tragic news.

Jo was a good supporter and a fantastic trainer and runner for the boys. We even gave her a run against Talking Carlton and she aquitted herself well. I was worried she might get hurt but she definitely went in for the footy.

A great smile and fantastic personality.

We'll miss her.

I think she told me her forum name was 'joeyjimjams' or something similar...

She seemed like a great scout (in the limited time I had talking to her), loved playing & umpiring footy, it is very sad to see someone taken so early...

Jo did boundary umpire at many of our forum games. She was always on hand to lend a hand.

She was popular out at Box Hill Football Club too with the women's team. She always told me she was part of our team - even though she followed the Hawks.

Yes, she was known as 'joeyjimjams' not only on here, but also by all her football friends in the community.

Gone too soon.

Very sad news.

Amazing girl from the brief, brief time I met her. Sincere condolences to all who were close to her. Very sad indeed though I'm sure she brightened the lives of many.

You are right Madness, that's Jo.
