JOSIE, I remember the first time I meet you. I could’nt believe how much fun and full of life you were.Jason and I knew there were many good times to come. I was proud to become your Linda #2. I especially enjoyed seeing your friendship with Rosalee grow. You two were quite a pair. I know this time will be difficult for your devoted daughter Linda but we will help her thru today and the days to come. Say Hi to Rosalee and my amazing father. You left us with so many memories of fun and laughter! Love you, Linda and Jason

Josie- what a wonderful woman, wife and mother. I have many memories of meatballs at the Leggio’s and a very BIG Italian wedding from Linda’s college years. Josie lit up the room with her dynamic personality, just as she has passed on to Linda. Through the years, as Josie’s life changed, she never forgot her beloved daughter. Josie had a plan and it was now time to be with her men. We will miss you but remember that you left a beautiful legacy to follow.

Love, Crys and Mike Margolis

Although we did not know Josie we have no doubt that she was a very special lady and much loved by many people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Linda, and your family.

Dear Josie,

We were honoured to know you and be a part of your life. Your strength and love have been passed to your daughter Linda and she will remember you forever.

Dear Mom,

You were the best mother-in-law a daughter-in-law could have. You were the best grandmother my girls could ever wish for. You taught me many things, cooking, laundry, love of family and how to laugh during the bad times.

You will be missed but never forgotten. My girls and I were blessed to have had you in our lives.

Rest in peace Mom.

Love always, Sherry

I did not know Josephine personally, but Linda always talked so lovingly about her mom. She must have had a very dynamic spirit and a love for life. I am sure she is looking at her family left here on earth with beautiful and loving thoughts and will continue to be a source of strengh and courage as years go by.

Grandma what can I say. I NEVER thought this day would come. I NEVER wanted this day to come. I know you always told me to be strong and don’t cry on this day. I will miss you so much!! I loved our talks, you kept me strong and safe with your love and prayers. I will miss your contagious laughther, funny stories, your “squeezes” and of course your pasta!! You helped me become the person I am today and I’m very proud and blessed to have had you in my life and my family’s life. Yes, I wish I could turn back time and be sitting at your dining table with everyone eating and laughing for hours. I wish I could climb in your bed at the crack of dawn to listen to you recite prayers and sing songs like you used to when Chrissy and I were younger. I wish I could hug you and smell your perfume. Grandma you will be missed but never forgotten- you are my guardian angel from above and someday I will hug you again! You behave up there! Love, Hugs and Kisses-

Toni

Dear Grandma,

Ill remember our sunday dinners growing up at your old house in tamarac with nana, and the family. I’ll remember the random stray bunnies that used to live on carrots you fed them in your backyard. I’ll remember your “sunday meat sauce” and you calling me Tony, Chirssy, then Stephanie. I’ll remember your night dresses you used to wear and how you never forgot my birthday!

I’ll remember how much you loved and adored grandpa and how so much I would have loved to know him more. You missed him terribly and never let a day go by that you didnt tell someone what a great man he was and a great father. I know you are reunited with him and nana in heaven and I will see you again.

God bless and we will miss you.

Love,

your granddaughter,

Stephanie
