Nancy,Joyce,Janet and Phillip,
We are so sorry to hear of your moms passing. Although we didnt get to be together much, Aunt Josie was always special to me. I felt like she was my blood aunt. Mike always loved her as well. Jessica hasn't seen her in a while but Ryan remembers her clearly. We all had fun when she was around. A positive person. She was a very wonderful and special person. We will miss her dearly. Now she as at rest.
With deepest sympathy,
Jeanne, Mike, Ryan and Jessica Rustek
