Dear Barbara and Tom...Josephine was one the last of her great generation, our true loss. But today we celebrated her life, while it was sad for us, she is free of the pain of life and is with the loved ones she lost so many years ago. She left us with so many beautiful memories but important, she has brought all the people she loved together today. I met and renewed with so many that were in a distance over the years but now, Josephine has brought us together again...so now our mission is to hold on to what we all experieced these past few days and build on those friendships. My admiration for all the care and patience you gave to your Mom is beyond words. God Bless you both...with love...Genevieve
