I Live next door to Darin and Heather. Judy and I would talk about the weather and the improvements to the house. I didn't know her really well but she sure seemed like a really nice lady. I am sure she will be greatly missed.

Jill, Adam, Allison and Darren,

I was so sad to hear about the passing of your mom. You know that I thought that she was a fabulous person. She really wanted nothing more out of life than for the people who surround her to be happy. You know that you and your children were the apple of her eye. She had so much joy in being a grandma her happiness was written all over her face. I am so glad that we had our visit this past June. I have said to my mom numerous times that it was the best visit we have ever had. Before I left you parents house that day she made me make her a promise. The promise was that we would all get together every year when Adam is in town. I made her that promise and that is something we are going to stick to. Each year when we do it she will be smiling down on us from heaven. Please know that during this difficult time and in the months to come I am here for you all. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs and kisses go out to you all.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I will always remember how great Judy was to all of Adam and Sonia's friends when we, or I should say I, would intrude on holidays and special occasions at the Perillo household. She always made me feel welcome and on many occasions sent me home with food too. My heart goes out to you.

Judy was teaching our math class at Ivy Tech and made us feel welcome and told us she loved teaching adults. My condolences go out to her family.
