We were saddened to hear of Josie s passing. She was a wonderful person and neighbor. Our family will always remember her kindness and how special she was to our children especially our son Rick. May she rest in peace. "Those we live don t go away, they walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard,but always near, Still lived, still missed, and very dear."
