Miss Josephine was one of the first women we met, fresh off the Trailways bus from Mississippi. She told my mama to bring us to church in 1956. Mama worked night and day sometimes, but Miss Josephine made sure we went to church and we were all (7) 'christened' and baptized. She is my older brothers nanan. A very great woman, very thankful to her for watching over us.
