I remember my cousin as a help when I so desperately needed guidance. She helped me become a cheerleader. She took me to Pawley's Island. She took me to Georgetown for my first two-pieced bathing suit( my mom made me swear to get a one piece). Judy , Gloria, and I made apples with melted cheese in the playhouse out back. When I ran away from home, she let me stay with her at Winthrop and brought me back home. I don't think she even knew what a big influence she was on my life.

My mom worked with Judi for 10 years. Judi was like a second grandma to my youngest daughter,Erin. Erin would spend weeks during the summer at Pack Rat with my mom and Judi helping with whatever they needed done. Judi played a big role in all my nieces and nephews lives.
