Not sure what to say?

So blessed to have known you and your beautiful family. Your children are a true testament to the loving, gentle, kind, and sweet person you were as they are your legacy. May God welcome you into His loving arms saying job well done Josie.

Leyes Family, My heart is sad learning of the passing of my dear friend. I have such great memories of the fun times we spent along Galaxy in Maryland Heights. We are still here but sadly Cameron has Altzheimers and can't be left alone, plus we have an important appointment Thurs. So I won't be able to come say good bye and hug you all. My love and prayers go to you all. Miriam Kerns

With regret, I will not be at the service in person, but my heart is there with all of you as we celebrate Nana’s life. There are few things I would love to tell her.
Thank you for accepting me into the family — for never treating me as anything other than a daughter.
Thank you for all of the love and support you and Dad provided as we raised our children.
For caring daily for Chad and meeting the school bus.
For teaching acceptance and showing endless kindness.
You...

Collette, your ALMOST birthday buddy (she was born at 12:33 a.m. on February 8th!)

Nana and Papa. Thank you for showing your grandchildren that faith and family are two of the greatest blessings on Earth. Nana you and Papa were amazing examples showing us that giving of yourself and helping others means more than all of the “things” we could have in this world. I love you nana and am going to miss your sassy self! -Your Cassidy Lyn ❤

So glad I got to spend time with this delightful lady over the past few months. She was such a happy, sweet, person. Rest in peace, sweet Josie.
