I couldn\u2019t help but be impressed by her journey from Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, to Cambridge University, the charity sector then to the House of Commons. I was met with a hug &#8211; most rare in Parliament I can assure you &#8211; and we chatted for an hour about her life over a cup of tea. I think it might have been one of the first times she had sat and taken stock of what she had achieved. Anyone who knew Jo knows she was a tiny woman, absolutely petite, with a blunt brown bob, with a love of bright scarves that always made her stand out in Parliament. You weren\u2019t to be fooled by that diminutive stature though. Sarah Champion MP for Rotherham described her a lion, and I\u2019d agree. She was incredibly fit, and is such a dare-devil she found out she was pregnant with her son while climbing on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk\/your-leeds\/kate-proctor-deeply-respected-and-committed-to-her-young-family-my-time-with-jo-cox-1-7968498\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">St Margaret&#39;s flag at half mast in memory of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JoCoxMP?src=hash\">#JoCoxMP<\/a>.
