My mom's dear friend

My mom, Agnes Sacco, and "Jo Boch" were very good friends as girls growing up in Port Chester. She talked about Jo through the many years and was sad when she moved, we moved, the address book got lost and they lost touch. My mother never stopped talking about Josephine and wishing she could find her. As I write this, I see them in my minds eye with arms looped together, singing as they walked to Rye Beach along with another best friend, Esther Luce. If any of her relatives see this, yes, I have pictures!
