Josephine was living history. She gave me so much information on our family history. I will treasure all the stories.
I'll be wearing pink in honor of Jo. It was her favorite color. Her apartment had pink carpet and even a pink telephone.
I'll miss you Jo. love, Betty Odell

Josephine was a remarkable, special woman. I had the privelage to take care of her for some time prior her entering the nursing home. She was wonderful to be around and to listen to her stories of her younger times. God has taken in an Angel.
