Please accept our condolences on the loss of Josie. Although I never met her, she must have been a wonderful wife and mother if my uncle Jim was married to her for a half century. Jim was very close to my dad, not just when they were growing up in England but after they settled on opposite sides of the world. Jim went to NZ a couple weeks before I was born, so my memories of him come from the many letters he and my dad exchanged over the decades. And what I know about Josie comes from Jim's pen, which is not much, but enough to know that she will be missed very much by her children and grandchildren and many friends. God bless her.
