Sorry I can't be there to share in your grief. Albert has told me many stories about being at Aunt Josephine and Uncle Virgils, and all the fun things they did. She never forgot Albert's birthday. Aunt Josephine was a very special and fun loving person and will be missed by all of us.

Aunt Josephine has touched so many lives! There will be many souls in heaven because of her testimony & love for Jesus. She spent her life in serving & caring for others, with amazing compassion & self-sacrifice, and a gentle, humble spirit. Praise the Lord that she is now at peace in His presence, even though there is an empty spot here! Our prayers will be with all of the family. She will be missed!

Josephine,was such a joy and comfort to Uncle Wallace for the last 5 years. What a Blessing! Although, we only knew her a short time, each time we visited, she made us feel like lifelong relatives. When we last visited in July, she was so gracious despite obviously in some pain. we know she is with her Lord and Saviour,Jesus. Patty and I will not be able to attend the funeral but plan on visiting ASAP to lend comfort to Uncle Wallace and extended family. You'll are all in our prayers

May God bless and comfort all of you. If I can do anything for you, please let me know. You are all like family to me, and have been special to me for 40 some years. I can't help but think how "Mother Fager" is rejoicing in heaven right now. What a wonderful Christian lady she was!

I will always remember the times we visited Aunt Jo and Uncle Virgil's home. Somehow there was always room for 1 more, and in our case, 7 more guests to spend the night and feed during the day. I recall several Christmases with the Fagers in Flagler. One time, I fondly remember Dad and Uncle Virgil going hunting with all us kids, (don't know if they got anything, but we really had fun). Aunt Jo was always so kind-hearted and gentle. Her life is one of faithfulness to her God and her family. I miss you Aunt Jo. Love Mary Jo (Fager) Thayer

Aunt Josephine was one in a million to me. Over the years we have grown very close and she often helped me through things I needed advice on. Her beauty radiated inside and out because of her love for our Lord. She now is standing on "Holy Ground", complete, whole and without pain. I can only imagine the "meeting" that has ensued with loved ones including my daddy.

Aunt Jo meant the world to me and I will see her again one day.

You all are in my prayers! I wish I could be there with you, to support you through this tough process. Aunt Josephine was the most
God fearing, faithful woman anyone could ask to have in their life. We are all truly blessed she was a part of our family and now is with her first two loves...God and Uncle Virgil. I love you all!!

My condolences to Josephine's family. Josephine and I became friends at Penrose Hospital years ago because we were both Flagler girls. I always looked forward to our visits. She was a kind and gentle person who enriched our lives. We all loved working with her.
