Judy spent her last beautiful years traveling the world with her daughters, relaxing on the beaches in Guam, enjoying road trips with the love of her life in their RV and dreamed of building a home on their land in Texas one day. Judy always made time to be there for her family and had a way of making everyone feel special, loved and important.
