The Roman Statesman & Philosopher, Cicero, counseled the grieving that:

The lives of the dead are placed upon the memories of the living. The Love one gave in life keeps them alive beyond their time. Anyone who gave Love in life will live on in the hearts of others.

Resquiescat in Pace Mrs. D ... Your heart will go on ...

Jude leaves a giant void in so many hearts. She was smart, funny, opinionated, witty, and caring; all of which contributed to the making of a very special mother, gr'mother, aunt, and friend. We all have a hole in our heart at this time. May God bless you all as her loves continues to shine down on you.
