Josephine, you have been my best friend for the last 13 years. I cannot begin to accept that you have left us. You filled a place in my life and my heart that no one else could. After my Mom passed away, you became my friend. At times, you stepped in as a Mom, but you were always a friend. My son Michael is so sad that he will never see you again. You were always special to us! We loved having you at our gatherings, whether it be for a birthday or Christmas - you always brought your sense of humor and your laughter. I'll take your place at those penny machines and try to rack up some dollars. Keep a seat saved for me up there - I will be seeing you again!
Keep Mom company for me until I get there.
Love to you - Michael and Irene
