"Dear Lee and Dot...yes you are gone from my eyes and ears but not from my heart. My memories of our phone conversations over the years are and always will be so special. Im thankful for the times weve talked, shared memories, laughed, and reminisced of childhood memories. In 7th grade at Okapilco school, we won the 3 legged race at Field Day. We had it down to a science. I still can see us jumping up and down. In Jr. High, we practiced in your back yard so faithfully as we wanted to be cheerleaders so badly. We played on the basketball team I wanted to be as good as you were but didn't happen that way. You were the best at all the sports you played. You told me all about meeting your knight in shining armor, you best friend to go through life with and the birth of your sons. Wish we could have visited one more time together but it just wasn't to be. You are at peace now, kneeling at the feet of Jesus, worshipping him, seeing friends and family that were waiting on you. You are missed but so thankful for a loving God and his son that made it possible for us to be reunited again one day Love you so much, Your friend, Judy"
