You will be in our prayers today and the days ahead. J.F. and Judy were a loving couple and so devoted to each other. They will live on in the memories of those who witnessed their lives. Dean has many stories of the "cousins" and Judy and Brenda were the only "girls". May God give you strength as you face life day to day.
In Christian Love,
Dean & Jane Ramey
