    Bill, Misti, Jodie, Russ, & JoEda, I am so sorry to hear the news . My deepest sympathy goes out to each one of you in a special way. I have such fond memories of Judi as my friend and neighbor. I smile now thinking of the way she taught me to sew, she introduced me to bowling, and you kids became the best friends to my kids. I’m so glad I got to re-connect with Judi this past year even if it was only for a day. The great memories can never be taken away, they only soften and become fonder. May you find comfort in knowing how many folks loved Judi and whenever I think of her I will smile and be grateful for her touching my life the way she did. God bless all of you, always.

Add your thoughts and memories.
