God saw you getting tired,Whe a cure was not to be. So he wrapped his arms around you,and whispered "Come to me".You didn't deserve what you went through,So he gave you rest. God's Garden must be beautiful,He only takes the best and when we saw you sleeping,So peaceful and free from pain we could not wish you back to suffer again.

My condolences to the entire Grindey family, there's a special place in heaven for someone who has worked in the community center for as long as Judy has. She not only did a great job raising her own kids, but played a big part in raising alot of other peoples kids. She was a good influance on alot of young lives at the community center. She will be greatly missed.
