    I just found out that Judy had passed away. Judy was my closest childhood friend as we both lived in the Alpha community within a mile of each other. We were in the same class at Laredo, rode the school bus together, attended the same church, Alpha Baptist, and stayed all night with each other all the time. I remember making mud pies and learning to ride our bikes together. As we both moved from our childhood homes early in our lives, we lost touch with each other. We did run into each other at Richard Thorne’s auction and had a wonderful visit. I’m so saddened to hear of her death. I pray for peace and comfort for her family and friends.
