The Chávez family are cousins to our Morales-Viramontes family. As far back as my early boyhood years I can remember Josefina and her late husband Joseph Sr. kept in contact with my parents.
One morning in June of 1983, I spotted Josefina standing on the sidewalk outside her door where she and her family lived on 18th Street. I waved to her from the middle of the street; she waved back with a smile as we marched as a community in tribute for Rudy Lozano Sr.
I remember Josefina worked for a while in the kitchen preparing onions for Bishop's Chili. She walked as a costumed participant in the Via Crucis in Pilsen. She even offered to have me officially ride my 10-speed racer in a Mexican Independence Day Parade in downtown Chicago!
Soon after my mom's death in 1979, Josie phoned me to offer her condolences. And not long after that she and Joe visited with me at our former home one afternoon at 1354 N. Hamlin, Chicago.
I always felt welcome visiting with Josefina and her family when they lived across from Zapata Park.

She was an adopted mom for me when I lost my mom at 18... I have so many good memories of her doting on Jerry and I. Prayers and condolences to her family.
