Judy was my best friend for over 60 years. She was loyal,trustworthy,honest, helpful,compassionate,loving and understanding.We had a long history of dressing up on Halloween and having many joyous laughs. My home has many of her crafts and sewing accomplishment.,as I am sure others have too. As we all know how she loved her Grandchildren,,each of our visits always included the most recent photos,plus their accomplishments. Judy and I said our temporary goodbyes until we meet again. With deep prayers for all her family.Lovingly,Sandy
