My deepest condolences to Josephine's family. It was my privilege to know her. She had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed being with her at Kim 's House at Christmas time. She was a sweetheart and will be greatly missed. Rest in peace - fly with the angels. God Bless and Keep you in his loving arms???
