Sue, I don't know where to begin. David and I have been yours and Jerry's friends since we moved into our home on Florence Road in 1971 and it goes from there. To the friendships we made, to the births of your children, to the weekends at Old Colony with all of you to the deaths in both of our families, and the incredible Jaycee careers of David and Jerry which spawned so many years. We are heartbroken over this and can only wish for you that you will have the strength that we know you have. Our love and abiding friendship forever - Judy and David
