Ann and Family,
Aunt Judy and your Dad have a special place in my heart. Thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy

When I think of your Mom, I think of all the great times at the cabins in Michigan. I loved watching all the adult cousins playing cards at night around the table in one of the cabins that were "quaint", a safe adjective. I remember marveling at Aunt Judy eating all those M&M´s yet she had such a great figure. She was so warm and inviting. She loved to laugh and make jokes. When I think of your Mom, I only have happy thoughts. Some of my best memories revolve around the times I spent around your Mom.
