Josephine was a dear friend as we loved Eymard her brother-in-law and visited both a them when we could in past years. We are sorry to learn of her passing but know she is back together with her dear Gerard and all the Galligans and Greys enjoying the eternal joy and love of our God. Their spirits remain close to all of us. We send sympathy to all the family and wish we could have been present for the celebration of her life. Chez (Mary Louise) and George Cora - Hockessin, DE
