Sharing in your sorrow. With love and friendship.
My dearest Judi, I am sorely missing our daily emails, shared over so many years, – half a world away. You left so suddenly and so finally without any warning, and I am struggling to comprehend the loss of my dear friend. So many milestones shared, happy occasions, wins and losses… news of our families, our hobbies & simple daily tasks. you are so sadly missed, cherished memories. Love to family Shani”

Dear Judi,
We crossed the US together on bicycles and became friends. You supported me in my crazy scheme to celebrate my 66th birthday on Route 66. I will remember your gentle, caring, kind nature. It was a privilege to know you.
With Love, Leilani
