I have many fond memories of Ms. Judy during our time together at Central Baptist. She was one of the kindest, God-loving ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was never without a smile on her face, and made sure those in her presence had one as well. I know she will be missed greatly. My prayers are with all of her family during this difficult time of letter her go. Until we see again...
