Judy was a teacher, encourager, supporter and a model of Christianity for me when I was first saved. She held my hand during those first years of growth as a Christian. A true disciple of Jesus, for many more. She has been and will be missed by all who knew her. Surely, Heaven rejoiced at her arrival! Hallelujah!
