I have many memories of you Judy. Always thinking of other people. Baking all the time. I especially miss how you told it like it was.

My Deepest Sympathy to all of Judy's family. I was good friends in work at Social Security in the 1970's with Judy. We would talk about how I was from Nanticoke and she was from Glen Lyon. I always wondered whatever happened to her. Don't know when she left Social Security. In 1980 I went to our other building, Courtright. Its so strange because I think about Judy often even after all these years! And now I see that she passed away! She was a great friend in work. Every time my husband and I go to Hellers Orchards we pass this one church and the cemetery next to it has a name Knorr in it. And it always makes me think of Judy!
I don't even know if she ever knew that I got married. When I knew her I was single. Didn't get married until 1992 when I was 40. And found out a few years ago that I am the cousin of Pope John Paul II.
I will have to say a Rosary for Judy's soul.
Again to Judy's family, I am so sorry for your loss!

RIP Judy!
