I have lost a wonderful friend this evening. Someone, who I didn't know nearly long enough. Who came into my life at a time that I needed her. Who taught me alot about living and dying. Who never asked anything of anyone, just to be yourself and be happy. To know the difference between right and wrong and the consiquences. I was so blessed to have her as my friend, to know that she accepted me as her "friend". Judy, ofcourse, wouldn't have understood that, because she accepted freely and gave freely to most everyone. It didn't matter to her, your social status or bank account. What mattered to her was your wealth as an individual, how you treated other folks, animals, etc....she was there to listen, guide or just jump in with both feet if necessary to help out or have fun and be crazy! She deeply loved her family. She had a strong committment to the dog world and particulary the world in her backyard, the GSDC of Buffalo. She loved them and considered them family, as they did her. She never asked alot of anyone, even in her final battle with cancer. She wanted to make sure everyone else was doing ok and had all of her "ducks in a row" before she left this world. Judy was the classiest of class, the bravest of all soliders and the kindest of all saints. I can only pray that in my final hours, that I have a third of the friends praying for me, thinking of me. Thank you Judy for all you have given me.I smile fondly thinking of you and I hope to carry on in your tradition. The Ballerina will always live on...............
