I am saddened to learn about Judy. I don´t have a lot of memories growing up that didn´t include Judy. She was at my wedding and my baby shower, all our family events. Gerald was my Great Uncle. My Grandparents lived next door to Judy for as long as I can remember. Sadly, we lost touch once their houses were sold.

Judy, may you rest easy, and send my love to all those around you.
