Dear Family-
I would stop and see Judy when I went to see my dad at Huntington--she was a very sweet lady. Would always hug her when I left and said I would visit her the next time I was there. I was saddened to hear she passed away when I was there the other day and was looking for her.

Fritz and Family
Beautiful picture. Judy always wore that smile. She was a dear Classmate. Always always giving. (I didn't have a white blouse to wear for my high school senior
picture. Judy went home and brought me one of hers. Never forget!). She was so much a part of the love that brought our class together every summer. You have been in my thoughts so often Judy. I know you are resting in His arms as you have been for a long time. You remain in my prayers..rest in his Heavenly kingdom my friend.
Fritz, John, Jimmy, Nancy; He holds us all in the palm of His hands. I pray you find comfort knowing she has found the peace she was working toward. God bless.
June - 1953 Classmate
