Jennie, I just realized that Judy was your daughter and wanted to say how sorry I am. In fact, everyone here at Daily Bread was surprised when we realized today that she was your daughter. I want you to know that our volunteers came back everyday and told us about Judy & how concerned they were for her. Each one has expressed sorrow at her death.
Our prayers are with you and your family at this time.

RIP Aunt Judy
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "come to me."
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

Well Grandma, you said you couldn't wait to go see Sonny and my grandpa. They got you now and I know you are done with the suffering and are being taken care of. I know my hardest day dealing with this hasn't came yet, but I am ok, so don't worry. I love you with all of my heart. I will try my best to keep everything moving with the family.
