  6. Dear Linda,
    Dear family of Josephine,
    I first met Josephine about seven years ago. The sweetest cutest little lady I’ve met in a long time. Quick witted , super funny, and a game player that could beat you easily.

    There were many lessons that I learned by meeting Josephine.
    The way Linda treated her took care of her and amused. Her was among the best I’ve ever seen.
    Any time Josephine would struggle with a memory issue Linda helped her. Anytime Josephine seemed a little bored or restless. Linda cheered her up and found a new way to entertain her.
    That always stayed with me and the way Josephine received that was beautiful
    My wish is that Josephine is resting peacefully now, dancing again with her husband, and living in the light that she seemed destined to be in.
    Prayers for the family to find comfort in the best memories of her, always.
    Love,
    Susan and Howard Werstil.

  7. Dear Michael and Linda – I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet, funny, lovable – and much loved mother. I send my sympathies to you both, your spouses, and to your children. I know the loss is painful and deep. I do not remember a time in my life when Jo was not a part of it; and when you were not a part of it. Our families were brought together because your mom and mine met on a bowling league. They hit it off immediately and were like sisters who could finish each others sentences. I am grateful that Jo was part of my life; I think of her as family. My heart hurts for you at this time and I pray God comforts you all. Rest in Peace Jo – or as my son David used to call her – Josephine Cerevella (my children loved her too).
    You will be missed and loved forever.
