Marty and David,
All the angels in heaven were waiting to greet Josie. Your mother was such a "grand" lady. I have wonderful memories of her in Orchard Park when there were 3 small boys running about.
Peace and love, Kathleen

It as an honor to have met and spent time with Josephine during her visits to Marty's house here in Florida. She reminded me so much of my own grandmother who passed away at 92 after a long life.

Josie was a special, kind, and very spiritual person and I really enjoyed our conversations about her life and how much she loved her family.

Our thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow.

I never met Josie Harrington. She must have been a very special person based on what I know from my mother Cecilia and sister Katheen. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead
