My Heart goes out to all of you.
Please let us know if there is anything we can help Josephine with.
I just am so sory we didn't take more time to stop and talk to you all. I just saw Ben and Joe in the walgreens, they were getting their flu shots. She told me that she used to work for CGG 20 years ago, and he's retired from AT&T. I work for CGG now such a small world.
We live across the street.
Our most sincere condolences and sweetest prayers.
