My deepest condolences to Josephine's family. I first met her when I was 4 years old when my family moved in next to her. She has ever since been a guiding light and inspiration to me ever since. Her faith was alway strong and her guiding principle never wavered. Josephine's loss is a great loss to our world today and will be felt by all. I know she will now be looking down upon us and will continue to guide us thru life until we meet again.
Dearest cousins; Mary Rose, Michael, Esther, Jonathan and Becky:
What a peaceful woman she was, always modeling what a perfect woman was. I remember all of the visits with my mom, Clara. We usually showed up unexpectedly and she was always welcoming and loving. Her soft voice lives with me. Her favorite greeting to the young'ins was "Precious."
A true legend, I am thankful for all of you that she was here for such a very long time!
I am sure Uncle Frank is thrilled to have the reunion of the love of his life!
Please accept my sincere condolences. i will be in Syracuse on Wednesday to support you all.
Love cousin Deborah Botticelli/Rochester, NY
Mary Rose, so sorry about your loss. Your Mom left quite a legacy. Remember the good times at N.Syracuse High School. Your friend and classmate, Sue Snook Kane
so sorry to hear of Josephine's passing....what a wonderful life well lived...........was she the widow of Charlie Ragonese?
Great Aunt Josephine was such a beautiful spirit. We were so fortunate to visit w her at Jonathan’s last summer. My son was just 10 at the time and was so impressed to meet his 100 yr old (at the time) great great aunt. She will be missed. Our sympathies are with her family and many friends. 🌹
Esther, Jonathan, Mary Rose, Carmelo, Rebekah & family,
Sending you love....I know you’ll find comfort in God’s promises.
With love,
Annette Ragonese
