Growing up in Flushing, I met Josette (Mrs. Koller to me) at a young age. She was a kind, warm, generous person, who had the very best words to say to this once very fragile being, that so appreciated her guidance. She had a grace and humility and respect for others that was remarkable, and always had her heart and home open. An incredible mother and wife, she could cook like nobody's business and I still try to replicate some of those wonderful recipes I can still taste. Josette will be missed from afar and her love will always resonate with me. I send my sympathies to the entire Koller family. May peace be with you all. Vous allez me manquer. Merci pour tout ce que tu as fait pour moi.

Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory, they'll live on in the heart.
~Author Unknown

We will always cherish the time the girls spent with Josette. A wonderful lady, a warm friend and a nurturing caregiver who will fondly be remembered in our hearts forever.

With our Deepest Sympathy, The Peralo Family

I never met her but going by the outpouring of love, support, and adoration by the people here and online elsewhere I can tell that she was an amazing lady. The two sons of hers that I know and am friends with spoke of her so highly and I can tell she will not only be missed by them but by a community and a world as a whole. I offer my sincerest condolences in such a trying and stressful time and hope that her family and friends as a whole will rest a little easier knowing that she is eternally at peace and no longer hurting.

I will always remember Josette and how beautiful she was inside and out. Her face always had the glow of a very pretty French woman. I know her husband and sons will miss her dearly. I will miss this wonderful woman also. May you rest in peace Josette with no more suffering.
