I met Judy at church about 35 years ago and we became great friends Her House was on my way home from work and I stopped several times a week to visit. Eddie and James were buddies and both kept us entertained. Didn’t see her much after she move away but we could always pick up where we left off. I will miss her — always knew I had a friend to talk to. Mary - Tripp- Eddy. — she always caught me up with what was going on in your lives and bragged on all of you. You and your kids were a great joy to her. I know it is very painful to lose her. I am shocked. Love you.
