To Roy and family, I am so saddened to learn of Josie’s passing. Having worked with Josie for several years, she became like family to me. Her positive spirit was infectious. When I think of her, I see her generous smile and laugh. Josie always conveyed respect, love and kindness for her peers and patients, and was a mother and teacher for us all. As a friend, I loved Josie and feel extremely blessed to have known her personally and professionally. May God Bless her as she receives her heavenly rewards, and may God bless you all as you grieve your loss. Respectfully, Nancy Batiste

I was so saddened to hear of the news of the passing of Josie. “The Reimans “ were friends of my former in-laws, and of course became loving friends.
Josie was like an older sister to me. When I was expecting my son, and bursting out of my clothes, she took me maternity clothes shopping. I’m from Albuquerque and was so homesick for NM & my family. My former husband & I celebrated every New Years with Josie & Roy. Somehow she would find ingredients to make the traditional dish of posolé to ring in the New Year.
Josie & Roy are such special loving people. They both made anyone welcome, & feel at home with their generosity. To Roy, Kenneth & Phillip, I send you hugs & prayers of comfort. A piece of dies when we lose a loved one, but they also live within us. Remember the love, remember what she taught you, she still surrounds you.
Vaya con Dios mi hermana!

I worked with Josie for many years at Culpeper Hospital and she taught me so much. I knew that I did something right because she had not told me that I had done it wrong. I always liked the nights that she worked with me because I felt that no matter how bad the night went...she would be beside me and we would make it through together. Her only fault was her need to have "fresh" coffee...she would pour out a perfectly good pot that had been on the burner for just a few hours in order to drink just one cup of fresh coffee!! I hope there are beautiful orchids in heaven for her...she was a wonderful nurse and a beautiful person and will be truly missed.

Josie and Roy lived across the street from my parents’ house in Hawaii when he was stationed there. They quickly became best friends to my parents and a favorite aunt and uncle to my brothers, sisters and me. My youngest sister would go to their house in her pajamas to join them for breakfast. The next youngest in my family was inadvertently left behind when the family took me to the airport to leave for college. They not only took him in, but took him out for a steak dinner. I visited them once in Albuquerque where Josie taught me to make sopapillas without a recipe or even measurements, and shared her best medical advice with me. Josie fixed dinner for my whole family a few days before my wedding. They took a very short, three day trip to Hawaii for my mother’s funeral. Our families have been close for more than 50 years. She is being deeply mourned by all of us. Roy, our hearts are with you.

Josie was a wonderful and kind lady. I know for the last 2 years it wasn't easy for her family to witness her decline, but she is in God's care and loving hands now. I hope that the knowledge of God's love for her will be enough to comfort Roy and the rest of the family in the coming days. - Ron and Janice Wilson

Josie and Roy are dear people. They provided me the opportunity to have Orchid therapy in their greenhouses, pick pumpkins in their patch and enjoy their cows, peacocks and other animals on the farm. I met Josie at Culpeper hospital and worked with her for many years. She will be dearly missed. Love you sweet Josie and look after us from above.
