Tributes
Leave a tributeI'm one of the people who was fortunate enough to have known Josephine Welsh for my entire life.
I would have loved to have seen the 30 years before I was born, because with the spirit she had at 72 years and 11 months old, I know there must have been some really good times and a lot of laughs.
From what I understand she always knew she wanted to help people so she started a career in nursing. Luckily for me she took a small break to have children but she eventually went back to helping others. Seeing her in action on the job I know she was an excellent care giver as well as some comic relief for her coworkers on a daily basis.
Looking back over my 43 years with her I feel I'm one of the luckiest people in the world. I was able to see her through my adult eyes and know just how beautiful and caring of a woman she really was. Being a parent myself I know the courage, pain, hope, trust, and most importantly love it takes to raise a family. I'm lucky to have had my Mom and Dad provided me with such a solid foundation to help me become the person I am today.
My mom was a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, mother in-law, grandmother and wonderful and loving nurse. Though her career was cut a short due to the pain she started to experience it never stopped her resolve to love the life she had.
She was one of the best women I've ever known. When I speak about her to others I always hear something like how funny, spirited, cool, and loving she was. I know she had a positive impact in every room she walked in and life she touched.
Over the past 3 years, moms quality of life slowly dwindled but the one thing that always shined through was her gifted personality and enduring love for others. She was always smiling or cracking a joke about everything. She seemed to have the perfect knack to be a little inappropriate in the most untimely situation but it always felt right in the end.
I will forever love and miss my mother but I know she is in a much better place now and finally resting in peace.

My oldest daughters birth
I just remembered this story. My wife had given birth to Kayla. We never got to the hospital. Kay was born at home. I called mom to come take Jonathan She was about 5 miles or so away. She was there pretty quick. There was alot of anxiety in me seeing my wife screaming. Jon was holding my leg screaming and I on the phone with 911 calling ambulance. The police were there in 2 minutes and actually delivered Kayla. EMT arrived shortly after and then followed my mom. I am greatful for all of them for being there to help us.

When I was sick
In 2008. I had contracted MRSA and wasnt given much hope to survive. My mom and dad came down from NY to see me thinking that would be the last time they would see me. Fortunately by the grace of God I survived and recoverd. They also came and surprised me for my birthday the same year. I am greatful for them both to come see me in my trouble.There are many stories to tell. I am hoping that those who come to this site for a visit, will leave a story. It doesnt take long to type one out.
