Hi Richard- Jonathan and I are still stunned from shock. Shock about Josie’s cancer diagnosis, shock about her not rebounding after surgery and now her death. Whoa. What a long, hard, emotionally exhausting many weeks for you and each of your familys’. Her life was not long enough. She had more to do and plenty more to give. Now your life will be at a whole new place. Our thoughts are with you. We’re downright preoccupied; just still so shocked. Yall were just here, in Birmingham, when we ate outside at the Cajun Steamer. What a great night. I remember so many of our annual dinners which would start at Dr P’s. You have been so great about staying in touch. It was an honor having those chances to get to know Josie. I’m so especially grateful that I was able to grant her request and get a cork board to her; though it took some time. I was honored by her appreciation. We will all miss her and feel so incredibly sad for you. Rhonna and Jonathan

Richard and all of Josie’s family,
We are shocked and saddened at Josie’s passing– leaving this life way too soon. Although we have not kept in touch well over the years since we left Irvine, our times with Josie and Richard remain as one of our fondest memories. She was a wonderful, beautiful human being and I am sure will be sorely missed. Our hearts and prayers go out with you, Richard, as you move into life without her. Your love is a testament to who she was and may your days be filled with memories and warmth as you heal.

Ninang Josie,
You were the best ninang I could have ever asked for. Caring, loving, and so energetic. I’m going to miss all those days I spent with you, now only in the past.
Sometimes my mind just wanders at the strangest times and it’s still so hard to believe you’re not here with us anymore. I love you Ninang Josie, and I’ll never forget you.
Love,
Jerome

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there.
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there.
Mary Elizabeth Frye–
Richard,
I have you and yours in my thoughts.
I have no words to describe how much sorrow we feel.
Please accept our condolences.
Minerva, Walter and Cristina
