To Jackie, Tanya & Families,
Judy will always have a special place in my heart...even tho' we graduated from PHS two years apart, we shared many adventures while in high school: double-dating, the MYF meetings, our "same-day" birthdays, our meeting up & confirming once again our friendship while both employed at Wallops; and then our daughters'being born on same day and year (1968)!
She was truly a wonderful person and will be missed by all.
My sincere condolences to the family on her premature passing. God bless.
