I will always remember the holidays spent with our extended framily, including Judy. She was always so friendly and an easy addition to our gang. Since my husband is one of the few remaining smokers, it made him more comfortable to have people to smoke with. God bless you, Judy. Rest easy—we will be here for Michael❤️
Big Luv Angie…we did have some good times with her 🙂
The kids and I will forever remember all the fun times we had with you grandma! ❤ We miss you so much already! 😭
MICHAEL, SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOTHER. WE ALL HAD SOME GOOD TIMES TOGETHER. SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
