Judy was my cousin and it was quite a shock to learn of her passing this way. But we had lost touch the last few years and it really wasn't that surprising. I'll always remember playing with her on Grandma's farm when we were kids and writing to each other as new mothers.
My prayers go out to Judy's family we were neighbors for many years and I use to hang around with Jody . May she Rest In Piece
Irreplaceable
