A wonderful lady with grace… her husband George was my former boss at NCDC. George and I have a friendly bet each year on the Alabama/Tennessee football game… Sometimes, that my wife (deceased) and I will go out to eat with George, and Judy… or we will meet at their house.. in recent years, that I have brought my daughter over with me at their home, as we lived close by, and Garth their son would watch over Rose (of his own free will).. May God have grace on her, and bring her peace…
Judy and Harry were both classmates of mine, Judy from grammar school on. My mother played the organ at their wedding. Although I haven’t seen them much in the last few years, I thought of them often. Judy was a kind, loving soul and I will miss knowing she is still present on earth with me. Bless all of the family and give them peace.
Judy was a great member of a great guidance department, but more importantly she was a great friend to all who knew her.
