Josie came into my life when I was a young man. The one thing that she always reminded me of was to be humble in all situations. I am thankful for the beautiful memories. God used Josie as a mighty vessel and a might instrument as a demonstration of the glory of God on display for the world to witness. I am more than confident Josie is an angel in heaven continuing to deliver the gospel. May the Lord bless you Josie, May the Lord make his face to continue to shine on you. We love you and we are thankful for the great memories. I can see your beautiful smile as I sit here and think about how beautiful your sport was and how it is.

My dear brother-in-law, Felix, when we would visit with Josie and you these past few months, we would let her know that we were gonna continue to pray for her and hoped that she would be ok with her health...the times we visited were always very special. Despite her health condition she and you both were so easy to joke around with...of course with highest respect. We miss her but we pray that when our time comes we will be in unity with her again. Just as we were here for both Josie and you in time of need; we continue to be here for you Felix whenever you need us. We will be supporting you thru prayer also. And Max...yours and Josie's loving little child with fur....he is a good listener, very alert and funny at the same time. We will continue to show him lots of love and cut up his treats when we visit him. We also will not let him forget that his mommy will be waiting for him with open arms and a warm smile in Heaven. Felix, both yours and Josie's hearts are so big....Josie made a special impact in all who ever knew her and even in people who met her for a short while like nurses, doctors. She planted a mustard seed whether thru her advice, recipes, or even thru just a simple hug...in each of us to spread with others. Thank you to you both, for your friendship, Josie's courageous spirit and both yours and Josie's love you give to us all. Our continued prayers for Josie's Soul and for you Felix during this difficult time of your life.
With much love,
Your brother-in-law, Jesse
