I knew dear, sweet Judi here in the Green Bay area, but lost track of her. Stepson Jon Henjum told me of her passing!!!! I treasure the memories of singing with her and listening to her sing!!! She helped me with a 4-H choir and we won the competition!!! She always had a sweet smile and hug ready for her friends, which I was blessed to be more than 10 years!!! God bless all family and friends who miss her, as we now know she's with Jesus!!! Her strength, surviving adversity, singing victoriously, sharing love with other "wounded soldiers" as we are, continues eternally!!!

Ben: When I read the Gazette last week and saw Judi's notice, I recognized her as my cousin, the daughter of my dad's sister, Margaret Swan. I was sorry to learn of her death and even more sad to know we are only 45 minutes from you. If you would like to get together and share some memories, you can contact me at [email protected] Looking forward to hearing from you. Caryl Saunders
