Thank you to all who came from near and far to honor Judi and support Doug. It was a special opportunity to be among such good friends of Judi. My appreciation to all who shared with me how they knew Judi or a special memory. It means a lot. As our time together was way too short, I encourage you to contribute to Judi’s memory here for the rest of us to enjoy.

And to those good friends who were unable to attend, your memories are equally important to all of us. 

A mosaic of memories, tributes and stories will reveal more aspects of Judi than any one of us knows individually. Again, thank you for your love for my sister. I look forward to drawing even closer to her through your reflections. ❤️

Judi and I met and became friends in middle school. That was way more than 50 years ago. We lost touch after high school but found each other again as adults. It was like nothing had changed. It turns out we had both been looking for each other on and off over the years. ( it was harder before the internet.)  We finally were able to meet in person again in Montana. Judi was the same person. Her smile and love for living things was bright.  Her friendship and joy will remain with me always. 

May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.  I know I have been blessed to call her my friend.
