Just by accident searching the internet I learned of Judy's passing as well as the passing of Martha's passing in 1996. The Franklin family is in my prayers at this time.

Judy's Mother was my Mother's Aunt. I have fond memories of our visits to the Franklin's home. Our nickname for her was "Judy Bug" because a comment was made years ago by my Dad that Judy looked "Cute as a bug" in her new glasses!

We lost touch until a few years ago and it was good seeing her again, she was the sweet, friendly and loving person I remembered. God Bless and keep you...

I will miss Judy. She was an inspiration and a role model to me. She taught me by example: patience, kindness, generosity and how to be a leader. I loved her sense of humor and very glad to have had her in my life. God bless her friends and family. She was truly an angel. Marlies Sheppard '94

So I waited to add my thoughts here until after her service today. I can hear her glowing commentary about the beautiful singing by the young ladies, especially her niece. I can see her patting her brothers on the back for their loving remarks. I can imagine her delving into the scripture and sermon with the minister then heading over to the organist to tell her...

Judy was a member of our monthly Applebee's dinner group. She will forever be in our hearts, as we celebrate her "homegoing" with her family and friends.
What a beautiful celebration service today. I pray that God will comfort and strengthen you all in the days ahead, and that your fond memories of Judy will sustain you.
