Ray and family,
Judy was a very special lady and we will all miss her very much. It is a bit lonely after we lose our mate, but it a wonderful feeling to know that they are in Heaven with their Lord.

This picture was actually taken in 2003 (the year stamp on the camara was set wrong), at the Ft. Myers home. It was a very nice Christmas. It was also the last time I saw Judy, and this is the Judy I will always remember. Warm welcoming personality, sassy mischievous eyes, huge smile and infectious laugh, being with and loving her family. Mahalo Judy for being my friend for a time. My deepest condolences to the family.

We are sure Judy will be greatly missed by all of you and everyone who came in contact with her because of her caring nature. We had lots of fun time with both of you in the the Zion Senior group and did a lot of work together for the Lord.
Sorry we will not be there physically but will have you in our thoughts & prayers. Keep hanging in there, Ray!
Love, Ruth & Earl Grelck, Fairfield Bay, Arkansas
