RIP Dear Cousin!! Fond Memories of our Indiana and Florida visits!!
Jo really enjoyed sitting on our porch, which is close to a mountain stream down the hill below the house. She brought her newspapers and read and relaxed. The creek sound was something she relished! We will miss Jo's bright smile, which was so welcoming when we visited her home she shared with Shari. May she rest in peace.
I adopted Jo as an honorary mom after she came to live with Shari who i a dear friend. We had happy times during our visits and shared several Thanksgiving dinners. Jo brightened any gathering with her presence, creating a feeling of being with family. I'll miss her. Thanks,Shari, for sharing her.
My Mom, Josephine Tolly, was a strong, but unassuming woman who had kind words for everyone. No one was ever a stranger and she loved to talk as well as listen. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She enjoyed simple pleasures as well as living simply She looked on each change in her life as a new adventure and always lived each day with enthusiasm and purpose. My friends were her friends. She could be feisty and stubborn when need be but never picked a fight. She taught me that love is patient, love is kind. I will miss her greatly. Until we meet again. Love, your daughter Shari
Josephine's daughter, Shari, has been a longtime friend, and through her I got to know this wonderful lady. Shari would always include her in gatherings of friends, and she became "one of the gang," and was always welcomed. Tho I haven't met Steven, I know he'll sorely miss "Mom" as well. She was a good person.
