I am so terribly sorry to learn that Judy has passed away. A light has gone out of the world! She was one of those rare people who always left me feeling better each time we ran into each other and stopped to chat for a few minutes. What a dear soul she was. I will truly miss her, and I am gladly making a donation to Pet Helpers in her honor.
