To Josephine's Family - I'm so sorry to hear of Josephine's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with her during Saturday meetings at Weight Watcher's. She was a joy to talk to and I'm so saddened to learn she's no longer with us. My prayers and sympathy to you.

I have known Josephine almost my entire life. I attended St. Peter's School with Roger and Andrea. She was and will continue to be a bright lite, if not here with us, but in the stars above. Josephine was part of what it is often said," that it takes a village." I will forever be greatful to have been touched by her smile and loving hugs.

I only recently in the past year had the experience to meet and spend time with Josephine, she had a beautiful smile, vibrant personality, and more than willing to be present in sharing moments with family and friends. I will remember her as " happy " !



My thoughts to you her family, I know that you will miss her and I pray for your thoughts and hearts to be filled with the happy memories.

Josephine was like a aunt to the family Ortiz. She always joined us in our family gatherings and birthday parties. She always said that our family reminded her of the movie "Nuestra Familia" We will miss her very much.
