Josephine was my older cousin. We had the same name. I always looked up to her. She was a great person and I loved her dearly. I am so sorry no one called to let us know she passed away. You will surely be missed. We
had some great times watching movies and eating popcorn your mother always made us when we came over.
Have fun in heaven. Your back with John.

I always thought of you as an intelligent, honorable, kind, and warm person who loved life and family. When you returned to York after a lovely time spent in Florida, you usually shared with me descriptions of your fantastic bargains. I loved your accent & yes, Jo, you had an accent! You were a lovely lady & will be missed by all who knew you. God Bless
