June 23, 1944 - April 10, 2013
"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done."
Saying we're a bit shocked at my beautiful mother-in-law's passing, is an understatement. She battled uterine cancer for 9 months, and we were elated when she heard the wonderful words 'Cancer FREE' in January and at her 3 month check up last week. We will never know what happened that morning and it doesn't matter. The pain is overwhelming enough just knowing her second chance ended way too soon.
Some girls have mother-in-laws that make them feel like they're not good enough for their son. Judy never judged, questioned decisions we made or criticized - She was always about love, kind words, gentle advice and tips. I know I am very lucky.
Cole and Hayden will know all about her zest for life, boisterous laugh and love of telling stories. But more importantly we're going to pass on her beliefs in life - Give back, be kind to all, and love friends and family more than words can express.
