I worked with Judy for many years at MRMC in the Rehabilitation Department. We all loved working with Judy. She had such a positive presence each and everyday. She made each one of us feel special. She never forgot any of our birthdays. She would give each of us a small flower arrangement for our birthdays. Many of the beautiful flowers were from her own garden.
She loved every member of her family so much. She told us beautiful stories about each one of you. She shared some great pictures as well. She always made great food for our pot luck luncheons. I am so sad about your loss. You had a very special wife, mother, grandmother.
We all know that Judy was special and she is in heaven.
Thoughts and prayers to all of you.
