CHICAGO - MEMORIAL AT JOURNEY'S CARE - 2016

Gotta turn your head on this one - Rainbow on way to Judie's Memorial Service

 

Judie

 

Judie was always a blast it seems! Gotta love it! By the way, the chocolates are Judie's favorite. They are Watson's sponge candy in dark and milk chocolate. They come from Buffalo, NY. I ate way too many and searching for more!

 

L to R: Steve Lutz, Georgeanne Schlicht, Patty Schlicht Quinn, Joan Cody Lutz at Judie's Memorial Service

 

Mary Hayes Horstman - sharing joyous memories of her friend

 

Judie's brother, Ron, speaking of his life-long relationship with Judie...sometimes estranged, but they came together again with love. (Please note the portrait of Judie - cant be missed, but she will be - always.)

 

Judie's brother,Walter, reading memories that five friends wrote about their escapades and bond with Judie

 

Clockwise LtoR: Rose Cafardi Stitt, Mary Ann Evans McGuirk, Kathy Kirk Scott, Judie holding a Cheeto, Vicki Stefanov Gordon, Debbie Kranik Smith, Jo (Joanne) Naso. Visiting Judie in July 2016 and no doubt that Judie just cracked a joke by the looks of her smirk and our smiles.
