Tribute to Jo Pearson – Milton Keynes

The family of Jo Pearson, who was murdered at an address in Santa Cruz Avenue, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, on Christmas Day last year, have released a tribute to her.

"Jo was a loving daughter, sister, mother, auntie, cousin, friend and neighbour. Her life was needlessly and cruelly cut short in horrendous circumstances on Christmas Day, in her own home at the hands of her partner. We will never be able to understand why.

"Jo experienced many good and happy times and achieved lots in her short life. These should not be overshadowed by the difficulties she experienced. Jo sometimes did not make the best decisions, but who of us can say we don’t get things wrong from time to time.

"Jo always cared for everyone around her, which was evident even in her last moments of her life. She was inseparable from her dog Tilly who she told us was her rock. 

"We are sure Jo will be remembered with love and affection by all who knew her. There will certainly always be a huge Jo shaped hole in our lives.

"RIP Jo we all love you."
