Josamarie was an extraordinary woman, full of life and spirit, and
with such a giving heart. We remember the children she gave a
home full of love and kindness when they needed it most, and the
tireless support and care she gave her own children. We send our
deepest condolences to the Colston family, but we know Josamarie's
spirit will go on in all of the people she touched in her life.

My prayers go out to the Family and all attached to Ms Josie. Having known her from back in the STMFA Coach Colston days on the football field - know she truly was a jewel to all who she came in contact with. May God wrap His loving arms around all and allow them to experience the peace of knowing she is home. Know she continues to watch over from high above.
