Josette Wargo was my cousin whom I enjoyed seeing at family functions, mainly in the 1960s. I still recall her humor, insights and lovely French accent. Those memories of Josette remain and always will. Rest in Peace, Josette. Blessings and Best Wishes to your daughter Cathy, son Ron and their families.
A ma bien regrettée tante Josette et aux merveilleux souvenirs que je garde de chacuns de ses voyages en France. Je pense également à mon oncle Jo. Toutes mes condoléances à ma cousine Cathy et à Ronald ainsi qu’à toute la famille. Martine Camus
Catherine and Ronald. My name is Patti Deane/Mistretta and I worked with your Mother in Acquired Products at Kodak. Your Mom was such a sweet person and always a hard worker. I also worked with your Dad when I first started in 1974. Their love story so reminds me of my own parents, my Dad was in the Air Force stationed in Luxemburg when they met, fell in love and got married and she left her family as did your Mother to come to the US. And they also had a boy and a girl like your Mom and Dad. Now they are all up in Heaven and possibly talking about the similarities. Please accept my apologies for the passing of your Mom.
A tender thought for our little taty. What a distance for her with her home village and her French family, but she found her place with you, and she seemed completely happy with you Cathy, Donald and Jo. We are thinking of you at this difficult time, and our hearts are with you. Sincere condolences. Monique and Gilles CAMUS
