My condolences, Jack. Judy and I were classmates way back to St. Mary's School. She and you and your family will be in my prayers.

The Judy Blackburn I remember goes back to first grade, St. Mary's School.  She was a spunky, little tomboy...funny and full of the dickens.  I lost track of her in high school I'm sorry to say.  Our friendship was reunited shortly after she and Jack Hipple were married.  They moved to California, and my wife and I followed them shortly after.  We socialized off and on over the years and I'm happy to say that as an adult, she was still spunky and funny and add to that a devoted and loving wife and mother.  We've lost too many friends and classmates.  For some of them, the loss has been most profound for me.  Judy Blackburn is one of them.
