My condolences to Judy's family!!! She was a special lady. She used to babysit me when I was little. Everytime we'd run into each other she was a delight to talk to. I got to see her alot when she worked at the water company. I enjoyed that! If my mother was still alive she'd sure send her condolences too. I just saw her obituary today and see the visitation was last night. I sure would've been there.
