    Dear William and Angelo, Your mom was so special! She loved you dearly and when I saw her about a year ago, she was picking up Chinese food for her twins and their friends. When you were in first grade, your classrooms were across the hall from each other. On many mornings, your Mom could be seen visiting in one room and then going across the hall to the other classroom. She always made sure you had what you needed to start the day. It was the same at the close of the school day- she was always there. You, as her living legacy, will be wonderful caring adults and great parents! Keeping you close in thought and my prayers. With love and sympathy, Diane Evers ,Angelo's First Grade Teacher, St. Mary School

    I knew Judy at Towson State College/University. She was fun loving and sweet. I remember her and I rode up to Delaware for a party from Baltimore. This was about the same time when she took over her fathers car business in Towson Md. She also took me to the Auto Auctions then in Bel Air , Maryland to buy cars with her. I was proud when she was Miss Preakness and visited her in her hunting shop near the Timonium Race Track. I liked and loved her secretly and she will be missed ! May she rest in piece and her memory be eternal !
