Josie, I'll miss that gut laugh of yours, the one that everyone had to join in with and laugh, too. You've left so many memories and supported so many during your all too brief lifetime. But you've made your mark in our hearts and can never, ever be forgotten. I know you'll be hanging out, watching over everyone you love. My BFF, I'll miss you for the rest of my life. My sincerest condolences to Mary Lou, Melinda, Manual, John, Scarlett, and all the many other family and friends who'll have a huge void that was once occupied by the vibrant, loving personality of Josephine Christine Gonzales. I'll always love you ...

Josie, it is heartbreaking to know that you are gone. I'm only comforted by the fact that you suffered for so long and now your pain is gone. You were always so full of life and had the biggest heart! Always so thoughtful to think of us, even when we moved out of Stafford. You were always ready for a party, had a quick smile, and a contagious laugh. I appreciate how greatly you influenced my life and am sorry I never let you know just how much you impacted me. Your unbounded love for everyone you met is your legacy. We love you and miss you dearly!!!
