Judi: when our children got engaged some 30 years ago you accepted us as family ever since. We will miss sitting next to you at family get-to-gethers (the old folks corner). The smile in your picture was true and always there, in spite of debilitating arthritis. When we sat together Christmas Eve we never thought it would be for the last time (even tho you were in great pain) but God had different plans for your Christmas dinner. He wanted you to be next to Chris at his table in Heaven. We will miss and love you always.

The sudden loss of Judy was a shock to me. I cannot remove the heartache the family is suffering but I can and will surround Kathy and her family with love and support, every step of the way. Judy was my support system when I worked for her husband when he was Chief of Police...Judy always had a kind word for me...keep your head high and smile she would say. I have two needlepoints she made me hanging in my home...Bless you Judy...say Hi! to your hubby for me.

My heart is broken for the Christopher family. Life is never the same when we lose someone we love. We go on, life is different now, but we go on. Blessings on you all to ease your grief. Our loved ones never really leave us as long as we talk about them, remember them, carry them in our hearts. I will miss you Judy, as I missed my Chief all those years ago. Rest In Peace, both together again.
