Having only recently met Judy, I found her to be a sweet, loving person. I will always remember her and her hospitality the week-end at her house at the beach. My sympathy is with the family. I had lost my mother about three years ago, and all I can say is the ache will fade in time and you will hold her close with the wonderful memories.
