I first met Josie when our school joined TKAT - over the phone mainly! Her warmth in a phone call was lovely and you could always tell when she was smiling even though you couldn't see her smile! We met a few times over the years, Josie always gave you an instant kindness and I know we would have been friends if I had lived nearer. Josie was just one of those people.....you hit it off instantly! Roles change and I heard that she had moved to a different job in TKAT. I did look for her when we were there for the Women in Leadership Conference but just thought she was working in a different area. I am so sorry to hear that she had been unwell.....Heaven has defiantly gained a wonderful lady. Reading all the messages just shows how loved Josie was and still it xx Thinking of you xx Tracey - Chichester High School

Even though I have never met Josie I was there with all of you (via text) through her struggle. Your memories of her will live on through your children. She sounded like a wonderful person and a fantastic Mum. ❤ Sue Cady ( Sharon Button's sister)

We meet lots of people in our lifetime, and sometimes we meet the odd few who are just so lovely inside and out, that we are honoured to have met them and we never forget them. Josie was one of those people and she will always hold a place in my heart as being someone special. Josie was the Queen Bee at TKAT where she worked. She was always so cheerful and caring, and uplifted the room. The only way I can describe it was like sprinkling fairydust wherever she went. She also made the best tea!! I will miss her so much xx

I actually first spoke to Josie on a business call, Mark and Leanne had been together for sometime and at some point on the call Josie asked if i was Leanne's dad, we then spoke for ages and agreed that we all should meet up. Jan, Josie and I then spent some greats occasions together with both families, Josie was always great company and an amazing mum, nan and friend to all the Goldie's. Josie was a beautiful lady inside and out who will always be in our hearts xx

An amazing lady with an amazing family. Sending so much love xxx Sleep well Josie xxx
