"Josie was on the sweetest, kindest, and loving people that I have ever met! One of the best years of my life, was when I lived with my parents for a year in Fremont! The reason for that was because I was able to get to know Josie and Chuck better and call them my good friends! I will always cherish the special times that we had when we would have coffee and cookies together. We shared many stories together, we laughed, and our dogs loved Josie as much as we did! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Chuck, during this trying time. Amy Troester"
