I was reading the paper this afternoon and I was shocked and saddened to read of Judy' death. We were in school together and I always enjoyed seeing her in Manning when I moved back to Alcolu in the 1980's and 90's. Also, we always enjoyed visiting with each other at class reunions. She was so pretty and sweet and always had a beautiful smile. Ann, my thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.. This world would be a better place if more people were like Judy. I am so sorry. Jennie
