Judy was smart, kind and fun! She was the voice of reason
in a room full of nonsense! In our high school bridge group
that lasted 50+ years there were 3 Judys - Judy Brucken, Judi Clemens
and Judy mac (Macbeth). Thursday we will say our final farewell to Judy's earthly life. She was a true and loyal friend over many moons!!
