    Joey, Deneace, Connie and I am so sorry to hear about Judy Kay. It has been several years since I had the opportunity to visit with Judy. I know that we had not got to see each other much at all over the past 40 years but I had always consider her my dear friend. I will always remember the times I got to spend the night with Judy, hearing her sing and the family singing together. I loved being around all of yawl. I haved always loved to hear Judy sing and hoped that one day she would make it big. In my book she did!! You will all be in our prayers. "With the Love of the Lord"

    I was young, but I remember a beautiful kind hearted woman that I loved to hear sing and play her guitar. So I would like to imagine her singing and playing by our Lords side. I wish I could take away the pain Jeffrey...I know we are strangers, but sometimes that makes it easier to talk.
