When I heard that Judy had died I was so sad. She was our story time lady for so long and visiting with her when I was her Visiting Teacher was always a joy. She loved Wheel of Fortune and sometimes we had to wait until it was over to visit with her. She was a hoot and I will miss her. Love Rae Kinzer

Cathy and Cory,

I was so sad to hear the news of your mom's passing. She was a special lady. I will always have such fond memories of her. She made me and everyone she met feel loved and important. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

I loved going to library time at Meadowbrook just to hear Mrs. Mosses "voices" when she read. My favorites were at Halloween time and Christmas time when she read the Polar Express. She would make it come alive for all of us. I saw her a couple of months ago in the grocery store and she still remembered my name after 20 years! She will be greatly missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Cathy, I was very sad to hear about your mother. The one good thing is that she and Ralph are together again.

My thoughts and sympathy go out to the family of Judy Moss. I will never forget sitting in the library in elementary school and having her read us Dr. Seuss books. She was a FANTASTIC story teller.
