Whenever I was with my Aunt Myrtle at the Maple Tree we would always have Judy as a waitress. My Aunt and Judy were good friends. My Aunt passed away many years ago. Wendy your Mother in law was funny and really good waitress. I will be praying for you and your family at this time . I am so sorry for your loss . But it is a small world . Your friend, Jan McMullen

I remember water fights, oh my goodness did we have fun. They usually included my uncle Ralph, my sisters Marilyn and Judy and neighbors Glen and Bev Kerchevski and me. They would break out when you least expected. We chased each other through neighbor hood spraying water at each other or into windows, best fun memories ever. So many great memories. I will miss your beautiful smile and our talks. The angels are rejoicing,

I was so sorry read of Judy's passing. She grew up in Linden as I did. I was always happy to see her at the Linden class reunion so I would have a chance to visit with her. She was one special person. My sympathy to the Rothwell and Hannon and families.
