So sorry to hear of the loss of a fellow classmate from Grandville High School. I came to Grandville at the beginning of our junior year and Judy was always so nice to me and made me feel welcomed. We didn't see each other during our later years until maybe the last 5 years and I was always so happy to see Judy and how happy she was. Judy will be greatly missed by all that knew her. Rest in peace Judy. My sympathies to her family, she loved you all so very much.
