Josaphine you were a wonderful mema to Kacie and Kaitlyn stephens and a special great grandma to Aubrie. You are going to be greatly missed when the girls come over they will be expecting to see you sitting in your recliner telling them to come in babies and sit down. What we all will have going forward are memories of you. We love you so much. Rest peacefully sweetheart and continue to look down on these three girls and help keep them safe. Love you, Stacy and girls
