What a feeling of such mixed emotions! This has been an anticipated day for what seems like a long time. For me, it came too soon. I loved Mama Judy dearly, like a 2nd mom. I always felt so loved, welcomed, and right at home both in CA & WI. I loved conversations, playing cards, riding on the pontoon boat, and just being. Both your mom & dad made wherever we were feel like home. I cherish memories at the YL home, the mountain cabin, camping at the beach, and visits in WI. I love your family so much… I always have and will forever. I truly felt like a 3rd daughter. Your mom & dad have made an imprint in my heart that will last forever. My heart breaks for each of you as this part in life’s journey begins . For I have found it  to be confusing, lonely, and sometimes even with a sense of a loss of guidance. But all of the lessons are still with you. As I have let my tears fall and allowed God to catch them, they have been replaced with a joy and flood of beautiful memories that continue, to this day, to provide healing. I learned this from your parents, and mine too. I think grief is the price paid for being loved so well, and being taught to love. God speed to your amazing and beautiful mom as she takes up residence in her new heavenly home. Until we meet again, Judy, thank you for being such a blessing and beautiful person from the inside out!
