In Memory of Josie Cox May 19, 2009 3:36 pm

It has been such an honor to have gone through this amazing life with you.
Josie laughed easy and often, she added an exciting buzz to the room that made you want to be there. Josie had friends from all walks of life .
People were always drawn to her and wanted to know her because she always made you feel special.

Josie went on in a very peaceful setting she laid in her daughters bed while her family laid with her holding her hands rubbing her face and sharing all the fun memories. We all held hands with her and Susan said a beautiful prayer. A strong hymn was playing and we could tell the moment was coming she took a shallow breath the clouds came in and turned the sky dark. The songs last word was AMEN and her heart stopped................then the rain. It was such a beautiful time I will never forget.

It was so beautiful to watch Ambra care for her mother she was so gentle and sweet with her she took great joy and pleasure to care for her mom. Ambra took the torch from Josie and fought RELENTLESSLY to get her the new treatment and she still is although now she is caring it for all of us. You have not met a man like Michael he was completely selfless he had Josie in there bed every night so they could sleep with her. He would wake up by alarm to give her her medication. he loved her and had such a high respect for her.

The Love of family is amazing.

Thank you for all the out pouring of love and support for our family this has been a very, very rough road.

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
