Dear family of Aunt Josephine, I still remember at my cousin's wedding a few years ago how Aunt Josephine and I got up from the table and went together up to greet the couple. I was wanting to stay with her to make sure she was okay managing her way across all the distance, since her health was already not what it used to be. But after giving our greetings, she just took off ahead of me! :-) My condolences and wish for you that you would have a significant awareness of God's presence as you contemplate her passing. - Posted by: Alicia Sawatzky () on: Aug 21, 2013

It is good to know that Josephine Ceska is at peace. Although it is sad to say "Goodbye", the thought that she is with God and being reunited with loved ones is cause for hope and joy. - Posted by: Anne Guenther (Church Family friend & companion) on: Jul 12, 2013

With a heavy heart I say Goodbye to my dearest and closest friend JOSKA. I find it hard to accept the fact, that I will never speak to her or never see her again. What a lovely, strong, wise and kind human being we are loosing! Her soul and long time memories will always stay in my heart!!! BLAZA - Posted by: Blazena Ceska Farra (close friend) on: Jul 12, 2013

Mrs. Ceska was a wonderful friend in the few years I was privileged to know her. We shared many hearty discussions and leaned on each other for support when we had concerns. She was so loving, she reminded me of my mother who died several years ago. I shall remember her with much fondness.
