Dear Jo,

I was so sorry to learn of your mother's passing today as I read the paper. I know how very close you were to her. Just think of it as a "transition" until you meet up again! I'll always remember both of you and your Avon business.

I remember Mrs. Kozlowski as I was growing up in the church. I have very fond memories of her being such a nice person. I was especially jealous of her curly hair. You are so lucky to have had her for such a long time. My sympathies to your family.

Aunt Josie was always one of our favorite people. She was a very special person.

Aunt Josie will be sorely missed. She was the glue that kept the Null memories alive for 90 years. Rest in peace from your Null nieces Connie, Bonnie, Jackie, Patty, Virginia, Dorla, Shirley, Mary Jo, Sherri Jan and newphew Joe Barhydt.
