My Name is Jill Singleton and I was a friend of Judy Rovy's (she passed away in February) Judy worked at EJ&E with MaryAnn and introduced me to Fred and Maryann. We always had a great time together. I am so sorry to hear of MaryAnn's passing. MaryAnn was so kindhearted and considerate. When Judy passed away I went through all of the cards that MaryAnn had given to Judy through the years. It meant so much to Judy and I know she was a wonderful friend to her. I meant to tell her this after Judy's funeral but unfortunately put it off too long. Now Judy can tell her herself. I know she will be greatly missed by her friends and family. I will continue to pray for comfort and peace for her family and friends.
