I remember Josephine fondly and our days swimming and talking at the Orange Pool!
She was so warm and compassionate. We shared life stories. May memories bring you comfort.

I think of Jo everyday when I put on my bracelet she brought back for me! I have such warm nice memories of us in the pool at the Orange Senior Center; we did more than swim we shared our lives!

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Jo for years. She was such a strong woman able to speak up for what she felt was right, and able to give her physical issues a strong fight. I admired her.
I am still in Florida and will be unable to be there. I pray for God's angels to support,and comfort you with tenderness.
