My memories of this lovely lady go way back. She always treated me with kindness and generosity and made me feel like a part of the family. Judy, we've both been blessed to have our sweet mommas for a long time and I'm sure there will be a void in your heart. But, as our moms have taught us, in the sweet by and by, we will meet on that beautiful shore. My prayer is for you and all of your family to find comfort and peace in your memories and hope through your faith. Wish I had known about the service before today, as I would have tried to come. My mom and sister, Karen, send their condolences as well.
