Judy and I were last in touch when we exchanged greetings on both of our December birthdays last year in FB chat and ended up promising a phone call soon. That never happened! I have such happy memories of lunches in my office in the school administration building plus very early morning exercise walks together, meeting in a close-by neighborhood. She was a very dear friend and will be sorely missed by family and many friends! Rest in peace, Judy!
Since I was a little girl known to me as my aunty Judy! Even though she wasn’t really my aunt I loved being with her! For many years she wasn’t in my life but when she and I crossed paths years ago she had become my dearest friend! I loved talking with her, getting together for lunch or dinner when we could! I will cherish all the special times we got together! I will miss her very much! Aunty your hanging out with Jean now, you too try and stay out of trouble! Love you DeDe as you would still call me that since I was little! 🥰
