When I first met Judy, it was at the Blount center at Sante Fe College in Gainesville, where myself & others had gathered for a meeting of the DWCAC. At that time she was Recording Secretary for the club & took beautiful notes! I liked her right away & found her welcoming & like myself, a bit shy & reserved at first, but once you got to know her, her smiles just lit up her face & she became animated!
I’ll miss her!
My sincerest condolences to Mr. Clark and the family. May the peace and comfort of God be with everyone during this time of bereavement.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Judy was so wonderful, probably one of the most sweetest people I have ever met. I really am so devasted and the DWCAC will miss her so much. To the family, especially Al, I am so sorry for your loss.
