To The Holcom Family,
It was of great sadness when I learned of Josie's passing. She was a very warm and special person, and I always enjoyed our visits at the get-togethers.
I once worked with Josie; she was so well liked, and I'm sure will be missed by all those that came in contact with her. Memories do last forever, which is wonderful!
May God bless all of you at this very sad time.
Sincerely,
Norma Smith

Hi grandma. I love you. I am going to miss seeing your smile, hearing your jokes, and just seeing your face everyday. If live could heal you , you'd live forever. You will live on forever in our hearts or all eternity.
