I had the opportunity to spend a couple of Thanksgiving dinners with Judi and Rich several years ago. The friendly banter between Judi and Rich was quite comical and always provided a great laugh. Judi was a great woman and an awesome mother and will be greatly missed. Matt Orr

So sorry about Judith. I found a scripture I like to share at JW.org, Acts 24:15, "there is going to be a resurrection," I wish your family the very best for the future.
