Life is not about how many years we live but how we live them. Sweet Judy lived hers with compassion and kindness and love for others. I will always love my “little Sister” and cherish all the great memories I have.
Just want to tell Jim and the family how much we will miss seeing Julie sitting by your side at the restaurant where we met you two. It’s a sad heart that I have to say goodbye to her. Jim, we will always pray for both of you. We will be having a Mass said for her some time at Our Lady of Victory/St. Joseph Church in the near future. We have grown to love you both as though we have known you two all our lives.
