I was shocked and stunned to search weeks ago regarding Judy and have this notice turn up. Judy and I were in the same choir in San Diego, we chatted in passing, and encouraged each other. I had visited her in her beautiful home in La Mesa and, after her move to Chicago was in touch sometimes by phone. She was wise, droll, gracious and kind. I was absolutely thrilled and excited for her upon receiving the announcement on her new life with Gordon, and somewhere I still have a picture of her front yard, and the car! Yes, very sad that I am unable to catch up with her here on earth but I am at peace knowing she is now in a much more beautiful Place with the Lord. She was a beautiful lady and I am blessed to have known her on earth.
