  1. Thank you Aunt Judy for always being a great aunt to me. You did a lot of first for me. Pound puppies, Kool aid, my first kitten which I lost 15 yrs later. Sorry about that by the way. Some of the things you taught me I teach my children.. like stop hinting around of something you want, ask. Speak up. I thought I was Madonna’s daughter and I always sang at your place with head phones on. I’m sure that was a ear breaker. I don’t remember any bad times with you. You helped me spread my wings to the world I didn’t know was there. Thank you for always making sure we had Christmas , birthdays, a place to go to get away from home. Rest easy Aunt Judy I hope to see you again some day.
