Josephine May was a beautiful soul inside and out. We had met her years before Julia and Michael even got engaged. She was the sweetest,kindest and most generous person we had ever known .She was a great lady and will be extremely missed but not forgotten.
Posted on behalf of my Nan, Sylvia French. Condolences from the French family of Newfoundland. Sylvia, wife to the late Edward French (August 8th 2020); brother of Josephine. Edward was the only brother to four sisters of Moreton's Harbour. They formed a strong bond of family and love, lasting more then 80 years. All will be remembered in our memories. The French’s, Sylvia, Edward (passed) and Annette, Marlene, Lisa, Philip.
Rest peacefully Mrs. May. Sincere condolences to Hamilton and all of her family
