Josephine:

Thank you so much for the good times I had with you, Helen, Joe, and the whole Monticello Street gang. Those times will once again be enjoyed by all when we join you in the Kingdon of Heaven. My prayer group will have you in our prayers daily at the St. Joan of Arc Parish.

Peace be with you and the whole family.

Love,
The Pierce's

My Sweet Aunt Josie, and Godmother - you were a gentle lady, a loving gift to those around you and a true example of what kindness is about. Your memory is mine, your soul belongs to God. May you now be with your loving husband and daughter as well as our Lord.
Love Always,

My Aunt Jo was a wonderful person. Never a bad word to say about anyone. I will always remember her kindness, her smile and generousity toward everyone. I loved going to Monticello Street where Aunt Josie and Aunt Connie would empty out the refrigerator the second you walked thru the door. I love you and will miss you.
Love Julie
