Norm and Bobby...I heard the sad news today (Thursday) about Aunt Judy. Even though our families have drifted apart, I still hold many fun memories of her in my heart. Losing a love one is so hard and I want you and your families to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. With the love of Jesus, we will all meet again!

"Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by."
Judy was a pillar to many. She will be dearly missed but remembered for her tough outside and soft inside.
