I am so sorry to hear of my sweet friends passing. I know she is in God's hands now. My late husband and Jim were Navy buddies for many years. That's how I met Judy. We traveled together several times and stayed at their home in LOVES Park and Washington State. Judy and I loved each other as friends and her sweet personality will always remain in my heart. Be strong Jim and family. Love and many hugs sent your way. I will treasure our times together always.

I remember many fun times at the bank. But, the times I remember most were the laughs and coming up with craft ideas!!! Thinking of you Tom and your whole family.
