My daughter was in the same 5th grade class as JoJo at Forest Trail Elementary in Austin Texas. I want to share a story. She just heard about Jojo’s passing today. My daughter forgot her homework during the first week of 5th grade and was crying because she was afraid of getting a “slip up” . JoJo walked over to her and gave her a big hug to help her feel better. They didn’t really know each other before Jojo’s incredibly sweet and selfless gesture. There are many broken hearts at Westlake High School in Austin today. Please know that your school and Jojo’s family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
