My sincere condolences to the Knapp Family. I have fond memories of Josephine and Stanley. She was a great conversationalist and always had interesting comments and questions about parish life and other things. May she Rest In Peace.
Fr Bill Stenzel
I am so sorry to hear the news of the passing of Josephine. She and I kept in contact, even though I had not seen her for more than ten years. We shared the same birthdate, as well as many other points of interest. She will be missed tremendously. I will keep her in my personal prayers and the prayers of the Eucharist.
Fr. Steve Kimmons, S.J.
Hi. I wish to get in contact with someone from the Knapp family. I am related to Josephine, she was my great grandfather’s second cousin. I am from Slovenia, but my ancestors immigrated to the USA that is why I have so many relatives there. And now I wish to get in contact with them.
