I will forever miss you Judy. I hope you fly high and enjoy the heavens.
Judy, you were the first friend I made when I moved to Bells in the 7th grade. I will never forget how nice you were and welcoming and made my first weeks bearable. Truly a wonderful person with a heart of gold that I wish I had stayed closer to these last years. God has a new special angel.. God Bless your family.
