Judy was an amazing person. She always thought of others. I worked with her at CK for many years and dearly loved her. She will be greatly missed. RIP Judy. See you again someday.
Tom and Rick, so sorry to hear of the loss of your Wife and Mother. I know it is a very tough time, but your love and memories will see you through.
Although I didn’t work directly with Judy I had much contact with her at Circle K and enjoyed bantering about Dancing with the Stars or just life in general, as she had an infectious laugh and a GREAT sense of humor! I am a recipeint of some her well cared for day lilies from those gardens mentioned and will hold them dear. Judy had a life well lived.
My condolences to Judy’s family and friends. I’m so sorry for your loss. She will be missed by many here at the Circle K office. Till we meet again and can swap stories.
