Our conversations were always about you, John, Brian and Joe. It was great to hear how well everyone was doing. I will miss seeing her smiling face but will remember her always. We will remember all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless all of you.

Dear Moynihan Family & Friends.

I learned about Josephine through the kindness of a co-worker. We work with Mary Moynihan, Josephine's sister-in-law.

It's never easy to lose someone you love.

I'm a true animal lover. It was wonderful to learn of Josephine's unconditional love for her animals & generosity to organizations that work on their behalf as well.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

Wishing you much support, and cherished memories to comfort you in the days ahead.

Be well.

Dear Jack & Family,
I cannot tell you how sad I was to hear about Josephine. We have been sending e-mails back and forth to each other over the last few months and I will miss getting them from her. Joe always made me feel like part of your family and I always enjoyed talking about our pets. She always had a way of making you feel right at home and always had time to sit and talk to you about anything. My family sends their regards and we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Mona's mom has gone home to see her and I know Josephine will be glad to see her Mona. Love to all Shari

I was so sadden to hear that my dear cousin Jo had passed away. I have many fond childhood memories of hanging out with my "older" cousins on Sundays. Dinners at the huge family table at Auntie Annas; Passaretti Christmas Eve familly celebrations where there was always great food and family bonding; and summers on the Cape. I always looked up to my cousin Jo, may she rest in peace in the arms of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many prayers from Texas to Jack, John, Christina, Auntie Anna, Millie and the rest of her loving family.
With Love from Texas,
