Judy always made sure they were ready for school even if one of them put baby oil in there hair so it was shiny, Judy was there to makes sure it got washed out before they left for school. Judy also made sure they got home ok and did there homework. Judy would always decorate the house for the Kids birthdays, blowing up balloons hanging ribbons and baked a cake and had ice scream all ready for them retuning home from school. 

Christmas was Judy’s favorite holiday.  Judy couldn’t wait for the plates to clear after thanks giving dinner knowing soon the Christmas tree was going up,  but not just 1,  2 Christmas trees. Christmas decorations were going to fill the house.   Judy has a Santa Claus room, nutcracker room, gingerbread room and a snowman room.  Yep Judy  would start getting that Christmas itch in July watching Christmas in July shows on tv.  I believe From that point every holiday was just in the way from the holiday Judy loved most. When the trees and decorations came down after the turn of the new year Judy would always tell me the house looks so empty.  I could tell Judy wanted Christmas to hurry up and be here again. 

I always called Judy when I was driving out of town to talk to her during the whole drive. It made the drive go by so fast just talking and listening to her. 

Judy would always listen to the kids and me on any good news we had or worries, complaints or just to talk and even our rants. Judy is that ear for all of us that would make us feel better. 

Stefani with 2 young kids now of her own Jacob and Kyra, Nikki with 1 of her own Harper and Dylan with one of his own Evelyn.  Judy of course adored them. They along with many others will be touched by Judy through us. 

No matter how much time we had with Judy it will never seem like enough. 

We’re all loved by Judy and we all love her. 

We’ll meet again. 
Miss you
We’ll Love you always

I took her for a little drive in my pickup one day and we got stuck in some sand (embarrassing). Judy and I dug out the sand from under the tires and we put our flip flops under the tire for some traction and I had Judy sit in the back of the truck  to add some weight and we were able to get out of there of course with just a little bit “little bit” of sand in her hair and we laughed and laughed that it worked. I had a feeling then this would be the girl for me. 

Soon Judy was pregnant with Joey so I bought a small 3 bedroom house and remodeled the old kitchen with my brother Brian and her brother Gene and we moved in shortly after Joey was born.  

The proposal. 
It Wasn’t much but it was ours being budget minded as we are.  I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting on the couch on the phone pricing car insurance with companies and Judy was sitting on the floor just in front of my legs with Joey.  After they gave me the price for single male driver at my age (ouch) I then proceeded to ask what if I was married (wow nice price) I asked the person on the phone to hold. Of course Judy has been listening to the phone conversation and was looking up at me probably just knowing what was coming.  I proceeded to tell Judy the difference in price and asked her if she would like to get married, which Judy of course said YES. We were married couple days later at City of Glendale court with our witnesses Ron my brother and Lori her sister and this started our price conscience married lives together. 

Wasn’t long before our Daughter Victoria was born and now we had a son and a daughter. 

Judy my Jude

We would run into each other at the apartment Laundry room and Judy would be with this little girl Stefani between 2-3 years old that would sing the abc song along with other songs

We would run into each other at the swimming pool. One day at the swimming pool Judy was watching a boy that likes ninja turtles and he kept telling me about this one ninja turtle with the big dick. I asked Judy what are you teaching him.  She told me the boy had a Speech impediment and couldn’t pronounce stick correctly so we had a good laugh over that. 

Again at the pool only Judy and I just happened to be enjoying each others company And a girl I used to date walked by heading to my apartment and I said to Judy I have to hide and Judy quickly unlocked the gate and had me follow her around the corner to hide where we could wait and watch until the girl left. That’s when we hit it off and we started dating 

Early in dating
She told me about the meaning of a black rose (wow scary).  Few days later I opened my mailbox and there was a black rose that had to be from Judy. It had her beautiful scent of coty wild musk perfume that some how she talked the mailman in letting her put the rose in my mailbox.  Black rose or not it smelled like Judy and I loved it.  Many years later I would give one to her as a timed memory. 

Then there was a time I was written up at work and made to sign something that I wished I added comments for my side of the story.  I told this to Judy when I saw her. Judy said let’s go down to your office and add them. we went down there where Judy proceeded to brake into the closet door with a butter knife and found the write up, so I added my comments and put it back and locked the closet back up and thought to myself (who is this women) I was very intrigued. 

Judy and I would go to parks on our dates and eat and talk “right talk” for hours sitting at a table 

Judy was the first person I met when we moved in next door. It was a crazy situation but Judy still gave us a chance.  She was not only a neighbor but became a great friend.  She would help in anyway she could. She watched my kids, we had great conversations, she helped with anything.  She helped get a tick off of Rayna, sewing buttons on clothes, the list goes on forever. Anything I needed she was there.  We would sit outside for hours just talking about anything and everything. She would always send me a text on every holiday even after I moved away. Judy had a way of making you feel special and important.  Judy made the best Christmas treats, and homemade gifts. She was very crafty and smart. I could keep going on with all the special things she did and we shared over the 15 years I knew her. I am so happy and feel very blessed to have had her in my life. She was a truly amazing person. 

I will always remember Judy being the big hearted person she always was. She was always willing to help, shared her amazing baked goods during the holidays, her craftiness when it came to gifts, and my favorite her love for Christmas decorations! 

I will never forget when she watched me when I was younger and she made Spirals Mac and cheese. I went home and told my mom I liked Judy's Mac and cheese better.. it was kraft I don't know how it tasted any different. But it did and it makes me laugh now. 

Always enjoyed chatting with Judy .  She created the most marvelous  gifts, the memory bears, the baby gifts ....
She was so talented.  

"Those we love are with the Lord & He has promised to always be with us...so if they are with Him & He is with us...they cannot be far away"
Sending love & comfort ~
