Posted at 12:28h, 23 FebruaryI agree wholeheartedly with the words in Judy’s obituary – Judy was “a very selfless, humble person, always putting others before herself. Judy, a kind lady who loved the Lord, embodied a true Christian spirit.”
Judy we will always love you and we will see you again in heaven

Life is somewhat like a book
We all have one to write
We start it on the day we’re born
and it ends when breath takes flight
We need use no pen or paper
It is as we live we write
There are good days and bad days
God turns the page each night
He gives us no erasers
To take bad days away
For yesterday has come and gone
Tomorrow is a brand new day
Do all you can and make it count
Live – Love – Pray and yes dance
Make amends – correct some wrongs
You may not have another chance.
If the world had more Judy Phelps in it – it would be a much better place
