I saw Judy not too long ago at Schnucks. We worked together at Ben Franklin for many years. We talked about the BF days. I'm so glad I had that opportunity. Judy was a great friend!

Judy was our neighbor. She was just the friendliest person. She and Cuddles would always be seen on their daily walks. She always had time to stop and let our granddaughter play with Cuddles. She will be missed.
