Dear Family, I remember with fondness the anniversary of the passing of Josephine today, May 2, and her loving husband, Ray.

Grandma its been 9days since I last saw your face and held your hand. Letting you go was one of the hardest things I have done so far. I will forever hold close every memory of you. For those memories are now all I have. I miss you so much. I love you grandma forever and always until we meet again. Rest easy my beautiful angel.

My thoughts and sympathy to all of you. Josie said last month we would get together on the next warm day. I am shocked to read this today. For years we went to Middle Creek to see the swan and goose migration with my sister Joanie. After Joanie passed we reminisced about that for 10 years. She was a good woman, caring mother and a good friend.
