Our family has lost a Mother, Mother-in-Law, and Grandmother. She was a warm, loving woman with a generosity of spirit who loved her family deeply. She is and will be forever missed. RIP Mom/Nana. We will always cherish the memories.

I'm so sorry to hear of Judy's passing. She was a wonderful lady. She and my grandmother, Anna Knapp, spent many hours shopping and sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee and visiting. She was a great friend! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
