So sad to hear that Aunt Josephine is no longer with us. We visited her on her 100th Birthday and enjoyed the festivity. Aunt Josephine was a strong and caring person and she was responsible in reunited many of the descendants of the Delfino family living in the United States and Canada. With niece Carol Perri she spend 2 weeks in Ofena, Abruzzo, the origin of the Delfino family in an unforgettable visit when she was also able to visit the paternal town. Our deepest condolences to her dear ones and, we will never forget Aunt Josephine.

Josephine was a special special lady. I met her 9 years ago, only to discover she had made my Mom's wedding cake. Photo here of my mom and part of her wedding party taking a peak at it. She lived for many years in west conord in my Mom's childhood neighborhood. ( the Servais's) Her talent for baking must have been known early on. This photo is from 1950. I was so lucky to be able to visit her in her home with my brother Paul and see her beautiful hand painted mural in her dining room..another of her talents. My thoughts and prayers to family and loved ones. What an a amazing life. She is now at peace in heaven. God bless..
