Judy was my soul sister that befriended me 70 years ago. There was nothing that we couldn't share with each other and being childhood best friends we grew up together. Our parents became best friends through us and we did vacations together. I will miss Judy and our marathon telephone conversations that kept us in together even though miles apart. I did not say "Good-bye" to Judy last I talked with her, but "Until I see you again." I know that we will have a marvelous after life together for ever and ever.

It was a joy to be in choir for many years with Judy and hitting all the high notes. Judy always had a very cheerful outlook on life and was such a sharing/caring person. God Bless her soul.
