I am so sad to hear of Judy's passing. I was just sharing with someone how funny she and James were and how no party could begin until the Gravenmiers arrived. Within minutes of their arrival, they would have everyone laughing uproarously. I know she had Heaven in stitches the minute she arrived. She was a joy. May your grief be eased in knowing she and James are back together.
