Judy has always held a large place in our hearts and will always be missed. What stands out to me was her generosity. She was giving even when her own needs outweighed those who received her gifts. She was a loving Sister, Mother, Grandmother, and shockingly to me Great Grandmother. To me that is the greatest compliment that anyone can get.
Good bye Judy.
