A mother can take the place of all others but no one can ever have take her place.
Josephine greatly loved her sons, cherished her precious grandchildren and always enjoyed the company of her sister. She was a pleasant and sweet woman always concerned about others.
Our sympathy to all who loved and will miss her.

Michael Fontana

Aunt Jo was one of the most generous and loving person in our lives. Her infectious laugh and cheerful attitude will always ring clear in my ears.

I am sure the Lord has reserved a special place for her to enjoy everlasting life and a peaceful rest.

Our deepest symathies to Angelo, Sharon, Joseph, Nancy, Joseph and Natalie.

With Love, Michael, Darlene, Catherine, Michael, Joseph and Nathan
