Josephine and my mother, Louise were good friends, especially in the last years of my mother's life. I always respected Josephine's independence and love of so many different things. I visited her at Tabor Homes and enjoyed seeing her happy, especially when she had just had a manicure. She had beautiful hands. She was a very caring person and was interested in my life and my brothers' lives as well. May she rest in peace.
