My deeepest condolences to all of the Cardinalli family. I have been thinking back to the times, when I was a teenager, and we would invade the Cardinalli home for sports talk and Mrs. Cardinalli's treats.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as I feel your loss because of the impact she and her family has had on my life.
God Bless you all.

She is RESTING IN PEACE in the most beutiful place there is beyond the sky, and she is RESTING with the best person in the world our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

My dearest Auntie Josie. I am unable to express my sadness and grief today. I idolized you for many reasons, not least was your unfailing sense of dignity and your uncommon probing intelligence. I don't think I have ever met anyone in all my global adventures who had anywhere near your hunger for learning and your depth of perception. Nothing seemed to phase you--you had about you an aura of a self-sustaining pioneering woman, fearless and always wanting to go one more step especially if by doing so you could be of help to someone. In the course of your rich life, creating a nurturing household for Uncle Neno and Bernadette, Marilyn and Michael. My heart goes out to them as they learn to deal with their loss. You were the rock in the lives and you gave so much to my life. I am so greatful that I could talk with you for for nearly 2 hours this last September when I was in the US, and you sounded so enthusiastic about everything, not afraid to share the burden of illness in your family and the worry about your grandson facing a war siituation. I always felt talking with you was like talking with a close sister rather than an aunt. That ability to be able to communicate with everyone regardless of age, sex, social class, ethnicity or religion was so rare. You will be in my heart forever. Your nephew, Bob [email protected] (Robert Cardinalli, Kathmandu, Nepal)
