So sorry for your lose. Love and prayers for all.
My deepest sympathies to all who are missing Judi. She was an incredible light filled woman. Always so very kind. I remember her well from high school; her laugh and her presence filled the halls. No one who knew her would ever forget her. With deepest caring. Jene

Al I am so sorry to hear of Judi’s passing. Even though I never personally met her I know you and her had a very special bond and knew how happy you were together. I apologize I just heard of this today but know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I still have the Christmas photo you sent me of you all years ago. What a great looking family.
With love and prayers!
