I went to school at Robert E. Lee in Baytown, Tx. She was a friend of mine. She had a special friend whose name is Keneth Lewis. I was wondering if anyone knows where he is??He would like to hear about Judy.I loved her picture. It made tears come to my eyes. She was a wonderful person that had to go through so much. I was at her house many times ... I am so sorry for your lose.

Working the last 6 yrs at knc and being able to take care of Judy was a great pleasure. She was quite a character. We all loved her so much. It won't be the same with out her big smile and Elvis.

.... Dyla, I am so sorry for your loss. I was working the day that Judy came into KNC. She had such a beautiful smile. I always thought so much of you Dyla because of not only the love but the respect and dignity you had toward your sister. Everyone needs a sister like you. I came back years later to visit after I had left KNC. The first sight I seen was Judy sitting near the nurses station and 'Sister' sitting on her corner... they were arguing back and forth and I thought it was so funny. I walked up and hugged the both and told 'Sister' to sing that song 'She'll Come Round The Mountain When She Comes' and Judy joined in... before too long we had a crowd singing it... I have many wonderful memories of Judy. Dyla many were blessed to have Judy touch their lives but she was very blessed to have you in hers. Big Hugs... Shirley Singleton Guillott
