I was very sorry to hear of the passing of my grandfather Raymond Hewitt’s beloved sister and my Grand Aunt Josephine. While I had not seen her in many years, I remember her gentle nature and kindness. Since she, my late father, Joe Hewitt, and I share a name, I named one of my twin daughters, born this summer, both in honor of Aunt Josephine and in memory of my dad. My condolences to her immediate family. I’m sorry for your loss.
