Aunt Judy's obituary and picture

Here is the obituary of our beloved Aunt Judy. The picture was either taken earlier this year or in 2006 ( I can't tell from the trophy in the picture). She was a such a beautiful woman inside and out.

I am missing her already. In many ways it does not seem real yet. I can't imagine going home to her house and not hearing her sweet laugh or be able to talk about life with her. She always gave good advice. I wish I was able to go to her memorial. I am a little sad and bitter that I will miss it. Please let everyone know my love for them.
