I will always think of Josefina as a great role model. She is the toughest woman I have ever known. Whenever I think life is hard I think of how Josefina raised her children and what odds she must have had to overcome. She was a great lady.

Your family is in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Jose's sudden passing. She was always such a pleasure to talk to at bingo - she always ask 'How are you today?' We will miss her.

Josie, you will very well be missed. God put you here for a purpose and you fulfilled it. You are the backbone of this family, and thats what held everyone together. We listened and learned. You are very knowleged, and loved life and all that God made. We may not have agreed on some things but, thats what made our friendship special. You calling everyday just to see what I was doing. Not just to talk, but to make sure that I was okay. Everytime the phone rings now, I will think its you. I will miss our BINGO times together. You will still sit with me at our table, and watch over my cards as you always have. I will miss you so much, for you are my best-friend. God knew what he was doing when he let us meet. Now God will take care of you, as you have taken care of his own, here on earth. I love you! God bless you.
