Mark,

Judy was a special friend, and one I miss dearly. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. We had a ton of fun and lots of laughs while she was here, though! She truly was one-in-a-million! She and her beloved Mitch are together again! RIP, Judy, my love!

Judy and I grew up in Detroit as family.
Our mother's were best friends and cousins
down the line.
Judy was gifted with a beautiful voice. The
memory of her singing "Smoke Gets in your Eyes"
to Mitch on their wedding day will remain in my
heart.
Blessings and comfort prayers to son Mark,
brother Richard and all who mourn her.
