We are so very sorry for your loss. Aunt Josephine was a beautiful woman, both inside and out. She and Uncle Stan were the cutest couple and it was always wonderful to see how they cared deeply for each other. She was always kind, pleasant, thoughtful and a pleasure to be around and she also was my Confirmation Godmother.
I'll always have fond memories of her and feel the positive impact of her being.
We are sincerely sorry for your loss. May God Bless Aunt Josephine and may She Rest in Peace.
