There is additional information about Josephina's life/passing in an article in Dance magazine. Her brother Tony Mendez, cue card boy for David Letterman/Dancer, speaks openly, and shares family photos. He misses his sister dearly. Tony has become a friend through a relationship sprouting from a visit to the Late Show many years ago.
