Josie was beautiful inside and out. I idolized her and Doyle as cute young marrieds, and later in life her friendship blessed me beyond measure. In my heart her children remain: an infant; a 5-year-old; a 10-year-old; a 15-year-old.
May God bless and comfort you in this sad time.
In sympathy and love,
