Miss Judy 🙁
Ah man she was so cool
She was such a good teacher, RIP. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
I am so saddened by this news, Judy was a fantastic teacher, one who saw the potential in our youngest son and brought it out so that he could have a great experience under her teaching, that was not an easy thing to do with him. Add that That she and her husband were just friends and my husband has already passed on. I will miss her, just knowing that she is a better place now for her but leaves a hole In my heart and the hearts of many many friends and family
ReplyDeleteMy most heartfelt condolences, and those of our family,. With love, Sue Flynn. BHS '60
