Judy, You were a wonderful person and left a great legacy on this earth. I know you left this earth too early but I am sure that you have gone home to heaven and are having a great time with your brothers and Aunt Dorothy. Take it easy on your brothers so you don't beat them too bad in Euchre. I have always been inspired by your generosity, cooking abilities, your big smile and your always treating the Rochester Nonn's so well. We have been blessed with your presence here on Earth. God Bless until we meet again. Love you - Jrard
