I´m sure most of Judy´s family doesn´t know me, but I was lucky enough to be introduced to Judy and Mike by her best friend Katy Alisauckas. Judy and I had many laughs together and it was just a matter of time before I would be getting back in touch with her, but sadly fate worked against me and I never got the chance to talk with her again and I can´t stop thinking that I´ll never get to see or talk to her. My last remembrance of being together is when she, Katy and I went to Kauffman´s chicken place together. We were sure a fun threesome! I went out to eat with her and Katy many times and will always remember them fondly. I even had the pleasure of getting to know her husband and I know in my heart she is with him again. That´s the one thing that makes me happy for her.
I also have two boys like Judy along with one grandson and a granddaughter that is due to arrive in October. I would have loved to have shared that with her.
May God bless you boys and your children along with her two sisters. Maureen probably knows me. She was one class below me in Minersville. My maiden name was Timtishin. Judy cherished her whole family. You will miss her. Moms and grandmas are always missed greatly as I do my own. I´d do anything to get to speak with my mom and dad one more time, but I know we will be meeting again.
I´m signing off with my sadness and will continue to keep her and Mike in my prayers. God bless all of you. Who knows, maybe they´re reading this as I write and they do get to see how well they´re both thought of.
Love, Eileen Motuk
