Judy loved to travel, and she made friends everywhere she went. She loved spending time at the beach, with her family, and helping others. Our mom had the biggest heart and would help anyone she came across, she would give the shirt off her back if she knew someone needed it. Judy (mom) will be missed by so many, but she is no longer in pain. I am thankful for the time the lord let me and so many others have with her. We love you to the moon and back.
