Judy was the oldest of us 4 kids, as a child we spent a lot of summer time going to the lakes. What fun we had. Judy was a very popular girl in school. Judy was a fun loving and hard working gal. Life wasn’t always easy for her but she never gave up. When she moved back to Michigan from Texas we would go out for lunch a couple times a month. She liked to go to Olive Garden and Long John’s Silver especially. I miss Judy immensely. She will always be in my heart.
Judy and I were friends in our teen years thru the junior achievement program. My maiden name was Baird (no relation). I was surprised when she became a Baird and more surprised to see she had a daughter-in-law named Darcie. My father’s name was Darcy Baird. Just the ramblings of an old lady.
