Judith K. Risley

When Nick and I decided to get married the Priest whom he had known from childhood (kindergarten,confirmation, first communion, etc) told Nick he would have to take his catechism again..Nick refused and asked Jim if he could make arangements to be married in Jim and Judy's church,and so they were our attendants when we were married in St. Josephs Lutheran Church in Chicago on Sept 17, 1941. Wonderful Friends, forever! Had to add this so you would know why they meant so much to us.)

Judy and I worked together for more then 20 years at IPM, and I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a dear friend, and a wonderful person. My sympathy to the family, I know she loved you all very much.
We use to listen to the Cubs game on our earphones at work. She was special. My prayers are with you.

VIRGINIA AND NICK VALENTE
JUDY AND JIM WERE THE ATTENDANTS
AT OUR MARRIAGE 60 YEARS AGO.
OUR OLDEST AND DEAREST FRIENDS.
