"A message from Judy"

Hello Family and Friends,

Well it is time to end my stay on earth. It is time to rely on my Christian faith for the eternal home with God and Jesus. I hope and pray that my life was faithful journal worthy of satisfying eternal reward.

Life has had its ups and downs. There certainly have been more ups than downs. Growing up with mom, dad, and Jean taught me many lessons. Those lessons continued into adulthood and a lovely life with David and our three girls, Christine, Sarah, and Amy. The lessons have continued into older age with son-in-laws Jason and Marvin and our three grandchildren Abbey, Luke, and Kayah.

As well as enjoying life with family and friends I have enjoyed my various work experiences and volunteer service in the church of Jesus Christ and schools as our children grew.

With all my Love,

Judy Brethauer
