As I read this, I still can not comprehend this has happened. Judy was always the youngster of the group, altho she achieved so much in her shortened life. Silly,I am also trying to remember that darn middle name , that she disliked so--something that was linked with a 'bunny.' Our hearts are broken for your family, those precious girls, and if there were anyway we could be there, you know we would be. What a beautiful life you 2 made together, full of laughter and love and friendships. It's hard typing thru these tears---but just know how much we loved Judy and all of you. Connie and Jay
