To all the family, we are very sorry to hear of Josephine's death. She was so proud of all her children and always referred to them as my Johnny, my Cheryl, my Kim ,my Barbara, my Joanne, my Jimmy, and my David. Hope I have everyone. You were all the love of her life. And now she is with her lifetime love your dad. We loved them both. I'm sorry we are not home to be with you all on Tuesday, but that's the price we pay by spending winter in Fl. We will be home for Christmas. Hope to see some of you then. God Be With Josie and Jim and their family at this time...Our Love To All
