Judy will be missed, she was always laughing and smiling.
Her work on the family genealogy was fantastic, and very much her legacy, along with her children, grand children, and great grand child.
We will think of her especially at a family reunion. Family was so important to her.
Don and family our deepest sympathy.
Love Richard & Barb

Sorry to hear about Judy's passing. Our sympathy goes out to all of her family members at this time. As we age, it seems that the only times we get together is for funerals. Our lives are so full of work and other activities that this time we will not be able to attend the service. We are holding all of the family in our prayers. Much love!
