Judy (Mom) passed away comfortably and peacefully surrounded by family. She had just celebrated her birthday two weeks earlier with her sisters who came to Dallas for a visit. Thanks to all for your condolences, love and support.
Judy was a good “big sister”. As children, she and I were very close… we didn’t always agree on things, but were there for one another on the roller coaster ride of life. We attended a church camp when Judy was 11 and I was 9 where we accepted Jesus as our Savior and Lord. I thank God for my dear sister and the knowledge that she is now in heaven with Jesus and a host of family and friends.
