December 26, 2024 at 7:10 pmJosephine was my “mom across the street”. She always wore nice clothes and looked great. We will miss her. The best eggplant parmesean ever. Our deepest sympathies to Anthony and Lisa and grandkids.

December 27, 2024 at 4:40 pmI’m heartbroken to hear of Grandma’s passing, but I’ll always have the fondest memories of her. I’ll never forget her warm presence, the kind of laugh she had that just made you feel good, and how she’d always make it a point to look her best, even if she was just so much as getting the mail. It was just one of those things that made her who she was and I always loved that about her.
Although I’d lived a good distance away from her and Grandpa, visiting them was always one of the highlights of my childhood and something I dearly miss. In later years when I’d regrettably not be able to visit, we’d always call each other at least weekly just to catch up with each other – she was always open to listening to what I’d had to say, both the good and the bad. Even at a distance, it felt like we weren’t all that far apart. I remember how happy she was for me when I told her that I’d finally be able to carry out my dream of living in Tokyo – she’d always been my biggest cheerleader, even if it meant our distance would be even greater. I’m working hard towards the goals I’d always talked to her about, and I hope she would be proud of the person I am today.
One of my deepest regrets was that I could not spend as much time with Grandma and Grandpa as I would have liked to, but have always been in my heart and always will be. I know how deeply she’d missed Grandpa and Mom, and I find great comfort in the fact that she is now reunited with them as well as my dad.
Grandma, I’ll forever love and miss you, but you will always be there in my heart.

December 27, 2024 at 4:53 pmI’m Jennifer Travisano’s wife, and although Josephine and I only met in person a handful of times, she was always kind and asked about how I was doing. Jennifer often talked about me before we married in 2019, and Josephine always seemed to enjoy hearing about me. Though I’ve only been in her house once or twice, it was easy to tell she kept herself and her home meticulous right up to the end, and I cannot believe she can be anything but a brave woman for remaining in that house for so long after her Jennifer’s Grandpa passed. Mad respect for you, Grandma-in-law? Is that even a thing? Well, if it isn’t, it is now! I hope you found peace, “Grandma-in-law,” and I will keep you in my heart and in my mind through me memories Jennifer shares with me.
