Condolences to the Family

Judy my loving and funny sister..great heart, great human being..always worried about others even though her health was so bad, she would always have a smile and a joke…danced salsa and sang no matter how sick she felt.  All the parties we had in the family I can never remember one, she would not ask for her salsa to bel played so she can dance and sing..my dance partner, part of my heart went with you and I don’t know how much time this pain will be here, but I thank God for not letting her suffer any more parts of her body due to diabetes.  She left us heartbroken for she will never be replaced in our hearts…Thank you Maria Cruz and Lydia Ortiz for taking time and leaving your condolences….RIP MY SISTER, MY HEART TIL WE MEET AGAIN…JUDITH ORTIZ LOVE YOU MARIA ORTIZ….:(

My prayers and my condolence go out to  the family of Judith,  I always remembered her as a funny person and nice to be around with. Even though I didn’t spend much time with her it saddens me to hear she is gone but never forgotten, she will always be remembered because she was a great person. Rest in peace and see you in heaven some day.  ~Lydia Ortiz~ ( sister of Beatriz Rodriguez)
