One of the kindest women I have met in my lifetime she was kind to my children in a time when I was struggling. I will never forget her kindness for that and when my husband Mike passed away she was one of my favorite neighbors.

Dear Connors Family:
Our deepest condolences to all of you. If it were not for St. Therese's vigil, We would not have gotten to know Josie - and that would have been our loss.

Dear John: On the way home from the services this afternoon I could not help but reflect on the amount of relatives, friends, and acquaintances who came to pay their respects to you and your family. It was a remarkable showing of people who wanted to say so long to a loving and giving person who is already missed.
