I think tonight (Thursday) was pasta nite at the DeMarte house. Judy welcomed all - she could feed 10 as easily as 7. I think Tom & Judy are enjoying spaghetti together tonight; with Mother Teresa and St. Peter remarking what a wonderful family they raised. We remember your parents fondly.

Judy was my cousin and a wonderful person. She always had a smile. Even though I didn't see her very often I will miss her.

I was sorry to hear of Judy's passing. I have fond memories of time spent with her husband on the school board and her children on the basketball court, and could witness the results of the love she provided to her family. Her love will be in you always.
