Aunt Judy was one of the nicest and most friendly persons I have ever known. She always made you feel welcome. I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with her. In particular, I was fortunate to receive several family history lessons from her and am grateful that she took the time to pass that information on to me. I know that she will be dearly missed by her family and all who had the pleasure to know her.
