Tributes
Leave a tributeI think of you often and know that I will never have a friend as special as you. Now that I have retired and am training for a new profession I know we would have been chatting lots and we would have had time for long distance travel visits as well. I am sure you are doing important angel work and some day I will see that wonderful smile again and get that wonderful greeting you always gave me. I am the lucky one for having the joy of knowing you. Miss you. My love to Reed and the girls
Missing you, Mom.
It must be exhausting for you to welcome all the new soles to heaven that you've touched.
My children and family look forward to meeting you one day on God's time. Please give a big hug to my mother and tell her she is missed, as you are so missed!
But so glad you are with God, His angels and His saints. I could hope for nothing more than that for you, my one and only sister. Say "Hi" to Mom and Dad. "See the angels, say hello for me."
So much we take for granted . . . but you never seemed to take anything for granted. Another lesson learned from you! Know that Reed, the girls and their families are in our prayers daily.

I was just notified of her passing. Judy was a dear friend at Holy Redeemer Grade School and all during High School as I went to St. Francis just down the road from St. Andy's and lived a short distance from her home. I loved her as one of my best friends. God Bless you, Judy!
Thank you Judy for everything you did, it was never taken for granted.
We met her on the Golden Council of Churchs.
She was fun and a good person to know. Wishing the
family blessings and she will be with you all
during your lifes. Always, Don and Anita Dimmick

Shared birthdays
Mom and I share a birthday month. With only eleven days between our birthdays, there were several years when my family celebrated both of our birthdays at the same time rather than have two birthday dinners in two weeks. Sometimes, when I was young, I felt a little cheated that the birthday dinner wasn’t for me alone. But as I got older, I enjoyed being able to share the birthday dinner with Mom: It was doubly special because we were celebrating two Ferrill birthdays, and Mom and I got to sit back and relax together while everyone else did the clearing and cleanup. Mom would have been 65 today. Happy birthday, Mom.
Memories!
Judy and I hung out constantly. Our parents were friends so it worked out well with us. After school, weekends, and summers we were always together with others also. I have many stories about Judy and I but this is the one that stands out the most.
I turned 16 in January of 1962 and Judy turned 16 in March of 1962. My father would not let me get my drivers license. After Judy turned 16, she came over in her old Pontiac, (1955 or 1956?) and said let's go get your license and you can use my car. I agreed and off we went to get in trouble. I got my license but both Judy and I were grounded. Oh well!
A quick comment that I took Judy to my Graduation All Night Party at Pickwick Center in Burbank. I graduated in 1963 and she was just going into her senior year the following September. We danced and bowled and shot pool and talked all night. On the way home we went out to breakfast at Bob's Big Boy and then to her house by 6am, totally exhausted. I went home and napped and we were back out by 4pm that afternoon to finish celebrating. I will miss you and God Bless you.
