James, Tammy & Megan, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your mother.
I met Judy in 1996 through the Weaver family. We enjoyed many breakfasts and dinners over the years whenever I was in town visiting. Judy was a very caring soul. In 2015 I was diagnosed with cancer and soon after Judy decided I needed a quilt. I look at it every day and think of her. I will miss our chats but have many fond memories of time spent together.

Megan, sending you love and hugs. I am only a text away.
