I will miss one of the nicest classmates I have ever know. She was kind, giving and loving to all of us and never asked any thing in return. May her passing remind us life is short and God is good. Her faith kept here positive always, may we all learn from her example.

I have known Josephine for as long as I remember, riding the school bus with her many years ago. She was such a friendly and nice person. I always enjoyed seeing her and talking with her. Peace to all of you as you mourn her passing.
