Judi was one of my closest friends. I met her at Mellon Jr. High. She had just spent months in a full body cast to correct her severe back problem, while being tutored at home. Athough she had a heart of of gold,.....a compassionate heart, she was feisty! She said what she meant and meant what she said. I admired her for that! She must have been a good nurse.....compassionate, but firm with her patients. She married John Sefton, class of '57, a friend of my husband. They had two sons, John Jr. and Donald. They moved to Arizona in the early 70s, but we never lost contact. We took vacations together, celebrated, along with Lillian Sowa Simpson, our 60th birthdays and of course saw each other at the reunions. As the song goes, "Friends are friends forever if the Lord is Lord of them......Its hard to let you go, but in the Father's hands we know that a liftime is not too long to live as friends," Our next reunion will be in heaven!

She endured a lot but always kept her upbeat attitide. Her very good friends, Lillian Sowa and Connie Kilb were a blessing to her. I will miss her. Andi Gamble Smith
