We will be out of town at the time of the services but wanted to send prayers and condolences. Uncle Judge and Aunt Cecil were very special to me and Elizabeth. I am so sorry for your loss but very excited about the reuniting of two who loved each other so much. They are celebrating in heaven. ❤️🙏🏻
