So many people sleepwalk through their life. Not Josie. Josie was brilliant, passionate, gorgeous. Josie had a gift for friendship. I was one of the many people that Josie met online -- she welcomed me into her life. If you were her friend, you were all the way in. She was faithful and smart and interesting. It is heartbreaking that she is not with her friends and family here on this side of the veil. The kinship and connections she made here were just as strong as the connections and memories she had for her grandparents. She made them come alive for all us with her reverence of their personalities and gifts. I expect that even if you don't believe in a hereafter, Josie will manifest one because now she has wings. Nothing will stop our girl from finding her loved ones and holding them close. I am one more person that will miss her more than I can say. She was mighty. She adored Bob, could not have loved and enjoyed him more. I am so sorry Bob, she treasured her life with you above all else. Love, love, love -- Kerry
