Our prayers are with the entire family. Judy will be missed but I know every time we throw a bowling ball that she will be there. Judy has now become my bowling god. She is a woman with a lot of courage and love. We will miss her smiling face but she will never be forgotten. God Bless you all and call if you need anything.
