She was my classmate from elementary school until we graduated from Cedar Cliff in 1975. She was beautiful in many ways.

Renee, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Judy was a kind person who I got to know along with you at our church's Vacation Bible School. She thought the world of you. She is free from all her pain and suffering. I lost my Mom 6 years ago and still miss her every day. Cherish all the good memories you have. Please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or 570-283-1679 if you ever need a friend to talk to. ---- Russell Haines
