    My Deepest Condolences to Josie Family and Friends. She will always have a Very Special Place Close to My Heart. I still have the Special Baby Clothes She Bought for My Son Billy Joe, and My Triplet Son's Robbie Stevie and Tommie, Saved them hoping my son's would have boys, but they all had girls. She gave me A Plate by Rosie O'Neal with 3 Kewpies on the Front of it, with the Saying, Love To You Today, Tomorrow and Always. That Plate started me on my Collection of Rosie O'Neal items. We had so many wonderful conversations on the phone, a women of great wisdom, and our lovely visits when I would go to Saybrook. She always had Candy in her favorite Candy Dishes. It's been a long while since I've seen and spoke to her. This I now regret. But know this her Family, she Loved All of You. Now She is with Her Parents, AJ, Marge, and everyone that has gone on before her. God Bless All of You. Linda Hayward, Neubert, Anyzeski
