My sister was the most caring person I've ever known; a joy, a blessing and an annoyance(she was my sister after all). Judy's wisdom, laughter and enthusiasm will always be a part of me.I thank God for that and for the blessing she was in my life.
Period! Did i mention ... everyday?
I am so sad that we did not get to have the lunch we promised ourselves after the new year...

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.
