Ms Judy, You will be so missed by everyone whose life you touched. I know that you touched my life and left the sweetest of impressions. But the Bible says that 1 year in heaven is equal to 1000 years here. So I know it won’t be long before we all meet again. Leitreanna and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Billie Ann Parker
