My sincere sympathy to the Camarillo family. Josephine was a dear cousin. I loved when she came to Butler to visit. I remember the fun times with her and her sisters! I also remember her for her household tips, many of which I still use today! Love, Kitty

To the Camarillo family this was sad news for me. I knew Jo from working with her at DeLucasPlace in The Park. JO won my heart. She was so sweet and kind and thoughtful. It has been a pleasure knowing her and some of the Camarillos. She will always be in my heart and never forgotten. RIP Jo. Prayers to the family in these hard days.
