Dear Greg. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Josie's death. I have many happy memories of working with her on many projects during our time in the forest industry in Hawke's Bay. She was a delight to work with.

Greg, Erika and Conal I'm shocked and so very sad to hear of Josies passing. We has such happy times together in our pre and post natal play group sessions that went on for years because we enjoyed each others company. I have lovely memories of all the kids and us young mums together, as I hope you do as children. Also the Lennans were part of the Heretaunga Family Tramping club together. You preschool kids just wanted to wander from puddle to puddle and upturn stones---not much walking :)...but happy times.
Im so glad Josie got to smooch her grandchildren but so sad she had left you all, at a young age.
Warmest wishes always
Jane Lennan xo

Shocked to hear this very sad news. Taken far too soon after retirement. My thoughts are with family, relatives and friends.

I had the pleasure of working very closely with Josie for more than a decade. She was extremely professional, kind and a brilliant colleague who always seemed to keep her fantastic sense of humour even when the going was tough. She was super proud of her family and always stopped in the corridor to share stories. I will miss her very much as she was such a lovely person.
