Judy was a dear and faithful friend for many years. We met while working together at a Davenport nursing facility. Judy was an excellent nurse who had kindness and compassion not only for the residents at the nursing home but also for those with whom she worked especially for the nursing assistants who worked at her direction, If anyone ever was an example of being a Christian, it was Judy. Her friendship was truly a gift from God. I know she rests in His arms in heaven.
