Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I do not know where to start. Judy and I shared so many good times together. We would laugh, sing, have long conservations about the Lord and on some occasions cry. I loved her Victorian spirit and her enormous talent for singing and story telling. She had such a large heart for life and for giving. I know she loved her family tremendously and longed for her Mother and Father. She was a wonderful lady and I will miss her greatly! (Your friend The Avon Lady)
She opened her house and heart to share with family and friends. I recall memorable visits with warm greetings, much laughter, and even being entertained and impressed with her singing and playing the piano. She shared her creativity in the music she wrote herself, the abundance home made food on the table and the beautiful decorating of home and garden. I will always have the nice memories of the Christmas visits ( with a Christmas tree in Every room) and children running around her yard in search of Easter eggs…… all made even more special by the way she could make a person feel so welcome.
Thank you Joyce for being a friend to mom, you two had some good memories together. Belinda
Thank you Kay, she was known for her parties and truly enjoyed entertaining. Yes a Christmas tree in every room! She loved you guys and often asked about Mia.
