    My Best friend and family is who Mrs Josephine Lantero was to me. We always lifted each other up throughout our trials and tribulations in life. We laughed, we cried together. She didn’t let the green grass grow under her feet. She would ask daily where we going today, I would say where you want to go, she would say I thought you needed something from the store, I’ll  start laughing me, that’s my clue she wants to go out so we ventured out. Such a True friendship of Love, Respect,  Honesty, and Loyalty. We had each other’s back. She will be missed but never forgotten. I always looked forward to going to work. A Beautiful woman ❤️❤️❤️❤️
