Our family was extremely saddened by the news of the passing of Josefa, mother of ‎Pilita Bryant, our dear and wonder friend that we truly love. We send our thoughts to all ‎Josefa’s family and friends.‎ I only met Josefa on a few occasions but it was clear that she was a special person and ‎much loved and cared member of the Bryant family. Her relationship with her grandson ‎Timmy was extraordinary and I have fond memories of Timmy being very young and ‎wanting her to play trains with her and the endless cuddles he requested. She was much ‎loved by her son in law Malcolm who always gave his uncompromised support in every ‎possible way. And then there is Pilita! What can I say about Pili? Well any Mother would ‎be proud and honoured to have a daughter like hers. We can all learn from the ‎unselfishness that this amazing person gives to her family and friends and what she gave ‎to her Mum. For as long as I have know Pilita, she has done whatever she could to ensure the ‎up most of care, comfort and quality of life she could provide for her Mum. Every spare ‎moment of her busy amazing life, Pilita was there for her, right up to her Mum’s last ‎breath.‎ Josefa lost her fight against a horrible disease but I am confident that she now resting in a ‎better place, with the love of Pilita and all her family members around her. ‎ Sue Theodor & Family (Melbourne, Australia)‎
