Dearest Pam, Michael and Mark,
Lots of memories …..
Mom was a good friend. I will always remember our Sunday night dinners at your house. Our fun trip to Palm Springs, staying at my parents house. We went shopping for identical PJ’s! Mom loved to cook, and she was so proud of it.. LOL. I will always remember her kindness to my daughters, in giving them jobs In the criminal court division after they graduated law school.lShe was so proud of Steve, she loved him, and the had a special bond.
I loved visiting her in chambers and going out to dinner. We have been friends since 4 th grade.
Your Mom loved her boys and she loved watching the grandkids when they were just babies.
Judy could be tough but not with yours truly. We laughed as we shared our personal stories, eating popcorn and watching TV .
I am so sorry for your loss. It is everyone’s loss, who knew this smart, wonderful, caring lady.
