So sorry to see Judy's obit in the paper today. I have many happy memories that Judy and i shared going to Glen Park and Gary on the bus. visiting Judy's mom at her workplace, going to the palace theater and our slumber parties , riding our bikes and once landing in the bushes on my bike at the bottom of Judy's long driveway. the many long telephone conversations, I only visited her once at the Point but thought of her often.

I have another angel in heaven now...I wish she could have answered the phone all the times I tried to call her so we could have talked one more time. My prayers are being sent to Angie and the family and my life just wasn't the same since I moved down here to FL and left my good friend Judy back home. I missed her before but now it is even more. RIP Judy. Love you always.
