Dear Ron and family,

Lauren and I were saddened to hear of Josephine's passing. We remember her fondly from chance meetings in your office on the 2nd floor and various chemistry parties. She was always so friendly, quirky and fun! We hope you are doing well Ron and that the inspiration for your tunes is still flowing thick and fast! With warmth and sympathy, Lauren and David.

Dear Ron and family,

I have very fond memories of Josephine, dating back to my first year as a member of the B.U. Chemistry Department (1969-70), and including a visit to your home in Providence. She had a sunny, welcoming disposition that made her a joy to talk to. I also remember thinking how modern the two of you were -- intellectual, cultured, active and cosmopolitan! Jo (with Ron) led a full and productive life -- one to celebrate, not to mourn. You all have my sympathy for...

Dear Ron, Rosemary and Jeffrey
My deepest felt symphaty at the passing of Josephine. As I read her obituary I can't help but feel grateful to have been, ever so small, a part of your lives. When I first came to you in Brookline, MA I remember meeting you Ron and Josephine and thinking wow such energy, such knowledge... what was wonderful too is that she always shared these gifts. We climbed mountains and skied together (even when Rosemary was a little infant. Josephine taught me how to...

Dear Rosemary, Kent and family,

Our sympathies on the loss of your mother. The obituary was testament to a woman of great intellect who took risks and enjoyed so much about life. Our thoughts are with you all and your extended family and friends.

As an undergrad at URI (1976-77), I took 2 courses with Prof. MIlburn: African Politics and Urban Politics. She was continually improvising the course formats, assigning each student to represent a given city or country in class. She also assigned students to several-member panels, which competed with each other as part of our course grading. A most memorable experience occurred during the final session of our Urban Politics course at the Faculty Center, with access to an open bar.

Jeff, Denise & family,

I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your mother passing on. May you remember all the wonderful moments shared together as a family. Her life and memory will live on in your hearts, minds and the stories you recount with those who knew her best.

My deepest condolences,

My deepest condolences to the Milburn family. May your many fond memories support you as you reflect on Josephine's remarkable life journey.

I enjoyed the laughter and loving heart of Dr. Milburn. She made me feel as a family member, and that is the way I will always remember her.
