Just wanted you to both know how sorry we were to hear of the loss of your mother and grandmother. I know what you are feeling as we just buried Aunt Shirley on Saturday, March 4, 2006. Even though we all went our separate ways, words cannot express the sadness that we are all feeling for you.
Love Always,

My sympathies go out to all of you in the Carl family. I lived next door to you in the 50's and early 60's I remember all of you and I think of all of you sometimes and wonder how you are doing. Josie was a good friend to me as well as Louise and Wilma and Milton.

Dear Ed, Kelly and family,
We were all very sorry to hear about the passing of Josie. We met Josie when our son Chris and Tammy began dating. We then shared some special moments when they married and had 2 beautiful daughters. Whenever we would be together at family functions, she could always make me laugh. I will remember how her eyes would light up whenever she would talk about her grandson, Jamie as well as our granddaughter, Madison. We will miss her but now she is in a place where there is no longer any pain.
Our deepest condolences to all of Josie's family,
Helen, Jim & Matt Finley
