My family will be forever grateful to Josie for the time and effort she so generously spent, translating my grandfather’s original poetry from the Calabrese dialect into standard Italian and then into English. She unlocked a treasure we will forever cherish.



God Bless you Josie!



sadly but appreciatively,

Sam Tomaino and family
