TO ALL OF JOSIE,S FAMILY, MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO ALL OF YOU. I LOVED TAKING CARE OF HER AT THE SCITUATE VISTA. SHE SHARED SO MUCH OF HER ITALIAN COOKING AND HERITAGE BACKGROUND WITH ME. I LEARNED ALOT FROM JOSIE AND OF COURSE THAT SENSE OF HUMOR WAS PRICELESS. SHE WAS A LITTLE WOMAN WITH A BIG HEART. SHE BRIGHTENED MY DAILY VISITS AND WE WILL ALL MISS HER. I,M VERY SORRY FOR LOSS.

To all of Josephine's family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I was deeply saddened to hear of Josephine's passing. She was a kind, compassionate woman who also had a wonderful sense of humor. I aways found great joy in visiting with her when she lived next door to my mother at Scituate Vista. She was a beloved friend of my mother's and she will be missed immensely. I will remember her always. May memories of her be with all of you for all time.
