Ed I want you to know-- you and Josephine were like second parents to all the Pinto girls. We all started to work for you at a young age and we are blessed to have known you both. I remember at the age of 12 you and Josephine giving me a job to help Dawn clean the meat store on Sunday's. Josephine would bring us lunch and milk--from then on we worked for you for many years and we have learned so much from you both. Ed it broke my heart to hear the news that Jo had passed and also to see you tonight because I know how much you love Josephine and how much you will miss her. I know she will always be with you and she will always have a special place in my heart as well! You and Jo will be in my thoughts and prayers always!

I am deeply sad at the loss of a great woman, a second mother, a person who taught me a lot about business, work ethic, and never to give up when the going get's tough. "WOWSERS"!!! from being the little girl with the purse around her shoulder showing her what is inside, to growing up and being a mother myself. I am proud to say Josey had made a very large impact in my life and she will be greatly missed by me and my family.

Dear Ed,
I am so sorry for your loss. Josephine was the most kindest person I know. She was very generous. She was a woman of wisdom and full of fun. Always willing to help. I will never forget her. I will never forget how she helped my Mom, her phone calls and gifts. I know she is with God and at peace. She was a wonderful woman. I will never forget her. I will keep her in my prayers. God bless you, Ed, and her family.
Sincerely,
Barbara
