"Our sympathy to Judy's family. We did not see much of Judy growing up mostly as cousins. Judy and Neill came to all our family's weddings riding his cycle. They were a great pair, laughter and jokes surrounded them. Now wings of angels and family are there for them both. Carolyn Wood Kvalheim"

"I just learn of Judy's passing. Judy and I was grade school friends in Waunakee. I remember her Dad running the Standard gas station. I have our grade school pictures of us and when I look at them I always had good thought of our friendship. I lost contact of Judy when she moved from Waunakee but always had good thought of her all these years. I wished we could have reconnected. God bless you Judy."

Door County and the old granary with paper thin Walls and community bathroom. World's fair, Disney, Wisconsin games in Vegas and Minnesota. Always traveled using maps . Our sincere condolences to Tim (Dawn), Juanita (Bob) and Sherri (John) and your families. Bob and Marcia Elderbrook"
