So sorry to hear about Judie's death from Susan Hendrickson this week. Our family thanked Judie for her thoughtful attendence at both my Father and Mother's funerals and I am sorry we were unable to attend hers. I looked up to my older cousin Judie as a role model during my youth. She set and achieved high personal goals, in school, and sports like swimming, volleyball, track and field, basketball and any other skill she wished to begin. Her leadership skills were hard acts to follow. Along with her competitive winning spirit, she passed on priceless gifts, of endurance, character strength, the will to complete the task at hand with finesse to cousins like myself. I appreciated her coaching counsel, & responsible attitude modelled for me to emulate. Her life skill contributions will be missed by many family and past students. Like others in the family we mourn her loss but also realize suffering is gone and she is at peace and she lives on through her contributions.
