Aunt Betty and Family of Judy Gilson,



Just heard about Judy, and am so sorry for your loss. I have many, many fond memories of playing dress-up at Grandma's and lots of fun times at your farm. Those memories won't be lost.

Jerry & Betty
I was born and lived in Spring Hill until 1951 and remember all of you. My brother John, was in the same class as Jerry and we lived just up the street from you before moving to Paola. I'm truly sorry to hear of Judy's passing.
