I’m so sorry to hear this. Judy was always so nice a friendly to us. I’m sure she will be greatly missed.
I worked with Judy as a lunchroom monitor and playground supervisor at Isanti Elementry years back now. Each time we would see each other always had a smile and remember our challenges on the play ground. She will be missed. Prayers for her family.
I only met Judy two times at Wanda’s, both times a joy, she talked like we had know each other forever.
Thinking of Norry and his family at this difficult time.
