October 14, 2022 at 4:04 pmJudy and I were close high school friends. I remember her wild sense of fun and great laugh. We shared so many great adventures together. Although we lost track of each other, we reunited at our 50th class reunion. We picked up as though we had never been apart. She was an amazing woman.
