Aunt Judy was one of those people who always made me feel welcome. One of my favorite memories was coming through her kitchen door and finding a baking sheet of " Stickies" cooling on the table, or just getting ready to come out of the oven. I'll know I'm in heaven when I can smell that small cinnamon caramel bun in the kitchen of her mansion. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. So sorry we could not be there. Richard and Jeanie Whitener
