In my memory, I can see Judy´s sparkling eyes light up when she spoke about two subjects: Jehovah and her family. She had a deep abiding love for both. I have so many wonderful memories preaching with her. And anyone she would meet... she poured her whole heart into helping them. It was inspiring to me!
Dearest Pat, you have cared for and loved Judy for decades. Keeping her safe. She knew how much you loved her. Y´all truly embodied the phrase "and the two will become one flesh." Your example has affected so many...just by being around the two of you. When Judy wakes up with a sound heart and a fully working, perfect body: what will that sweet firecracker put her mind to? ...I can´t WAIT to see it!! I just hope I´ll be able to keep up with her!
For now, she is resting. I´ll see her later, in her full health and energy. And look forward to hearing her laugh, seeing her smile, and watching her serve Jehovah forever. That will fill my heart with JOY. (Daniel 12:13) -Seletea Jones
