My aunt Judy was one of the best people in the world. Even though she suffered from Down syndrome she was always able to use here own mind when she wanted to. I remember how she loved magazines and coffee very much. And if she didn’t have one of the two with her always she would get really perturbed with everyone. She was also very sneaky at times too. Like for instances, there was an occasion when my Papaw was making breakfast and he wouldn’t let her have anymore coffee. So she got mad and threw a strawberry at him. He was facing the stove at the time and it hit him on the back of his head. I was sitting next to her at the time and we both just started laughing when Papaw turned to see what had happened. But Papaw never got mad at her. Aunt Judy didn’t like ridding in cars either. She feared them a lot. I used to get a kick out of watching everyone trying to put her into one. She could put up a fuss like you had never seen. Well I’m sure she’s in heaven with her mother, father and brothers again. And I’m sure she’s doing what she liked best and that is looking at a good magazine and drinking coffee. I will love and miss you Aunt Judy!
I miss you every day Aunt Judy.
