Proverbs 31:28.." Her children arise and call her blessed". Precious Aunt Josephine, we will never forget you and our memories are etched in time.

My thoughts are with our grieving family today for my dear Aunt Josephine, who's life exemplifies "righteous and blessed"...What a glorious homecoming she had as the last of Grandma & Grandpa Pecorino's children came through those PEARLY GATES. Love to all, Concetta Pecorino (Coyle).

What a great and gracious lady. Always had a smile and totally committed to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her long life is a testament to her Christian belief. On a lighter side and several years ago she would ask me when I would take her to Chico's because she like the clothes I bought there. I'm sorry to say we never got a shopping spree together. Mrs. Josephine, we will really miss you.
