The last five years of her life Josie spent at Seasons in Lasalle where she developed warm friendships and participated in many activities such as bingo, happy hour and her friend Malvina with whom she braided plastic carpets for the poor. Although we will always miss her, we are comforted knowing she is reunited with those who have gone before her. Family and faith were her strengths in joy and sadness. We have peace knowing and living by the examples she left us.
