Josey was a very beautiful young lady; as a child Josey had a big heart she was kind, caring and fun to be around. Josey made a lot of friends all over from her travels and throughout school. Josey was always willing to help everyone and did not complain. My girl was a fancy dancer; she danced for me and was so proud of herself too. Josey was taught horsemanship by Grandpa John and put in a lot of miles on her horse Mouse. Josey was all of our baby and ranch girl. She loved her cowboy life and she excelled in being our just Josey. Josey showed lots of love to all and everything, a kind hearted ANGEL. My only comfort is that she is going home to her Terri Lee. Our Josey Cheyenne Lane Day Rider was a granddaughter, daughter, sister, niece, auntie, cousin, sister-in-law, godchild and special girlfriend to Kolby Bastien.
