To the family of Jo Bartolini.

The passing of Jo is very sad for me. I have known the Bartolini family for many years and considered Jo as a dear friend. Through the years we have lost contact with each other, but know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sorry I cannot be with you at this time as I live in FL now and do not get up north often.

Love,

Connie Gimskie

My heart goes out to the Bartolini/Tiziani families in the loss of their sister,mom,grandmom and great grandmom. Josephine was a Super Lady. Go back to the days when she lived at 33 Bethany Road and married a super guy.
God rest her soul.

My fond memories of traveling down your driveway for Halloween Candy was only matched by your bright smile at the end, warm apple cider and donuts. What a treat for a little girl who each time I made that journey was greeted like family. My condolences to all the Bartolini's. Your mother was a rare gem who set a great example of motherhood.
