Josie touched the lived of so many and was the light of our lives. God needed a new angel and Josie was the right fit for the job. She loved life and having fun.

Most of all, she enjoyed making all of her friend and family happy, especially making their birthdays a day of celebration with her talent to put together collages with music.
