Tom Benson My deepest heartfelt condolences for your loss of Josie. She was a great part of my later teen years. I remember her as a loving and generous woman and a remarkable example of a mother. I loved her sweetbread and the little bits of Portuguese that she taught me (which I still remember).

Gorette and Louis Ribeiro Our heartfelt condolences, May she rest in peace. So sorry we will not be able to make it to the funeral but we will keep her in our prayers.
Heartfelt condolences. Josie attended Holy Cross for many years, she was a part of the Joint Wellness group and after a while trained to become one of our instructors. She was a great help and much appreciated by all the members of this group. (She was very shy and uncertain at first, but soon gained confidence.) It was a pleasure to know her and she will be missed be many. Regretfully I will not be able to attend the funeral, but will be keeping her and the family in my prayers.
