Aunt Josie was so much fun when I was growing up. Her smile lit up a room and her laugh was contagious. She was beautiful inside and out. She will be missed but will also be welcomed by family in Heaven. 💖💖
Ed, thoughts and prayers to you and the family. Treasured the times playing golf with Josie and you coming out on the back patio to wave to her as well as the activities in our neighborhood here in Sun City Peachtree.
Our sincere condolences to all of you. We enjoyed friendship with Ed and Josie in Sun City Peachtree. May her sweet soul rest in peace.
Chris, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. You are her mini-me! Losing a mom is difficult on its own but a daughter losing her mom is a special kind of loss. I know as I am facing losing my mom who is in early hospice care now. I know you and your family have many wonderful memories and stories to share. Treasure them always. Fondly, Patsy Linker
