“To say that Josie was a member of our family doesn’t even come close,” she said. “She was my fur baby companion girl. She was my partner. She went places with me and experienced things that no one else ever did or ever will. She was a witness to my life and to my journey and me to hers.”
Washington told fans that she would be donating to Wags and Walks rescue in Josie’s name.
“There really is no way to describe that kind of connection. I’m so so sorry Kerry,” wrote Debra Messing underneath the post “My Laila will welcome her and show her around.”
“@kerrywashington oh my friend. Love you so,” added Tracee Ellis Ross.
