Story shared: What a Friend

Judy & I worked together in DPDS then DRMS. I can remember one particular time after work we met Bob at the Lakeview Lounge. We were sitting right inside the door - "little" Charlie was with us. Some lady came from around the corner & dialed the phone for a taxi -- Charlie remembered the phone number so Judy & I took turns - every time this lady would come to call for a taxi we called & cancelled it. We had a ball that night. Mr. Downey finally came over & told us to stop because the lady was "a lady of the evening". So we finally gave up & let the taxi come & get this lady. But we sure had fun. Another time Bob, Judy & I to the "Rafters" (I think that was the name of it) -- your dad wore a wig & while he & I were out on the dance floor another patron kept making comments about Bob's "hair" -- WELL he flipped that wig off & the woman got to laughing so hard she pee'd her pants!!! Your mom & I laughed so hard. We always had a great time together. She and your dad are together again with all the other relatives & friends. One of these days we will laugh about these times together again.

My condolences to Judy's children, grandchildren and great grandaughter. I pray God will comfort you through this loss. I met Judy in 1987 and we shared a lot of fun times and laughter. As we became closer, we shared our children and grandchildren. We would get together on Saturdays and have breakfast then go shopping. Many Saturdays Judy would have Amanda with her. She was just a little girl then. I can remember Amanda ordering a salad for breakfast and Judy and I would chuckle over this one!! The restaurant didn't have any problem bringing a salad to our table for this little girl! Judy and I shared a lot of good times as well as bad. I will miss her greatly but I believe she is in heaven with her loved ones and is at peace!

Tammi and Charley, my sincerest sympathy on the passing of your mother. She sounded like a amazing caring woman and role model. We worked at the Federal Center at the same time. I only wished I had the opportunity to meet her then. May God continue to give you and your family much Grace and Peace.

I met in 1956 when I was 17, and she was about 19. I met her the first week I went to the Federal Center to work for (at that time) Civil Defense. I was in the Secretarial Pool where she was, until I was placed in a permanent Office. We had lunch together every day, and spent lots and lots of time out of work hours together. We had such a grand time those years. Judy was in my wedding in 1959. My husband and I did lots of things with Judy and Bob in the early years and the laughs went on and on. When she left the Government for awhile, I stayed on, and we eventually lost track of each other. When she returned to work there, I had moved and gone in different directions, from Battle Creek. She will always be part of my happy, happy young years, and I regret that we went such separate ways and lost track...but my memories will remain. And, in my mind I still see that friend of those times. When we were young and so full of plans and laughter came so easily. I am so sorry for your loss.

When I started with DRMS in 1975, Judy was the secretary in our office. She was always efficient, friendly and had a dignified manner that I always respected. I'm sure your family has many wonderful memories to sustain them. You'll be missed.

Story shared: Christmas Eve, 12/24/10

Judy and I spent a lot of enjoyable times together. I think my favorite time was Christmas Eve, 2010. We decided to have dinner at Finley's and then attend church services at my church, St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church. The dinner was good, the company was excellent and the church services made the event wonderful. I believe Judy enjoyed our evening together as much as I did. I'll never forget this special Christmas Eve! Judy you will be missed terribly but the memories will never leave me! I believe you are in heaven with your loved ones!! Enjoy the beauty of heaven and I will see you again!!

Blessings to Judy's family. Bob and I were classmates and were the best of friends after graduation. I have great memories of our trip to Ft.Wayne to visit his Grandmother at the Edgett's.Our days of freedom ended upon the marriage of Judy & Bob but the memories live on!
