"I would often meet Josephine in the lobby after Sunday worship. She was always kind and encouraging to me. Yet what I remember most are the times that she would say with a very serious tone that she had learned something or that she needed to hear that lesson. I was delighted that even as she was advanced in age, her heart was tender and she was open to the Word of God. What a wonderful example."
