I haven’t seen Josie in many many years. But, I will never forget how she selflessly helped me through a difficult time in my life. I always loved working with her as well. She cared deeply for those she worked with and those she took care of. My condolences to her family. ❤️😢
I remember how beautiful Jose was and so full of energy when Robert, Jose and Ricky came to live with us. She liked sneaking my retainer out of the cabinet and wearing it. Such a strong spirit.
