I will miss you dearly, my Juds. You were the most wonderful, caring, and loving person at Stone Crest. You always had a way of bringing laughter into our lives. I remember how you started calling out "AIDE" or "SISTER," and now everything feels so quiet without you. My heart aches already. Since you moved in back in 2021, I´ve cherished every moment spent with you over the past four years. I will truly miss our laughter, those moments when I would drop by your room to chat, and seeing you in the dining room, waiting for lunch. I can still picture you sticking your tongue out at me, and how we would burst into laughter together. I love you, Judy.
