Aunt Jude was a bright and effervescent soul, someone whose mix of class and sass made her absolutely unforgettable. She had a way of making me feel proud of what I was doing, no matter how small it might have seemed at the time. I’ll never forget her joy when I first started learning piano, how she made me play in the living room for the family, and how she’d ask about whatever creative project I had going on next. It meant so much to know she cared and believed in me. Alongside other family members I miss deeply, I know I wouldn’t be the creative person I am today or even living in Los Angeles chasing my dreams without her encouragement. I’ll carry that with me always and I hope she’s sharing her light again with Uncle Paul and my grandfather Tom.

My deepest sympathies to all of you. Your mother was one great lady and a whole lot of fun. Memories of her; your wall paper, I´ll never forget. It was like velvet..... LOL.

We shared some great times at the Wrinn family homestead; that´s for sure.
