Misty Thank you for messaging me about my friend Judy. We shared some fun times when we both lived in North Little Rock, I cherish the memories. You favor your mom in looks and in spirit, that keeps you going when times get rough. So sorry you have had all these life storms this year. I know how proud Judy was of you and grand kids. I will miss my "running buddy", but will smile when I remember all the good times we had.

Misty,
We are so very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed getting to know your sweet funny mom when she substituted at Fox Meadow. She was good with the kiddos and up to anything that needed done. We know she’s pain free now and walking those streets of gold now. Andy & Ronda Bryson
