Mrs. Ames was the mother of my great friend Robert whith whom I studied College in Canada. Although I only had the blessing of meeting Mrs. Ames a couple of times, those remembrances were stamped forever in my mind and soul. Her warm and kind hospitality to a stranger gave me the feeling of the most caring mother that one could possible have. Staying at the Ames place was like being at home and I thank her for that feeling. May God bless her whereever she is. Thank you Mrs. Ames. - Posted by: Ido Gibellini (Friend) on: Dec 29, 2018

Josie was a very close friend of my mother Claire Cordingley and this friendship brought me close to her and her family. She was a happy, friendly woman. I enjoyed the times I got to spend with her and Bob. I am truly sorry for the family's loss. - Posted by: Brian Cordingley (Friend) on: Sep 10, 2018
