The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Judy. She loved a house full of family, her grandchildren who had her wrapped around their fingers, mani-pedis with the girls, and making sure those boys became gentlemen like her loving husband. She had so much love in her heart for her grandchildren. Judy loved spending time on the back of Jim’s bike. They took many trips across the country with their close friends, regardless of the weather. She had so many good stories to tell.
