Judy,

Well it's almost 9pm...for years on end at this time on Christmas Eve ...Jeff and I would be over at your house....just having ate a good meal with you all...and watching Chelsey's face light up at all of the things Santa had brought her while you all were at church....we would all settle down to watch a new movie Santa had brought Chels....and stay late...what joy those days brought to my life....I will cherish them always!

Before we ate you would always see to it...that Jeff sliced the ham...because you said it was "tradition"...just as us coming to your house every Christmas Eve and New Years Eve was "tradition"....

I have so many fond memories of the holidays with you....and thankfully I have some videos to watch and remember and see your smiling face and hear your sweet voice....

The other day I called your house cause I knew no one was home...but I just wanted to wait for the answering machine to pick up so I could hear your voice.... I miss you so much it hurts....when I heard your voice I had a lump in my throat and couldn't help but let the tears flow down my face....

Sometimes it seems as if it were yesterday when we said our final goodbyes....but in March it will be 3 years....oh how time flies.

I feel your presence around me at times, especially at work....there are days when I smell your scent so strong as if you are right there beside me.... it comforts me to know you are near...

Without you, Christmas Eve and New Years Eve will never be the same....but I have the memories to cherish forever...and as we make new "traditions" ....

There you'll be

You hold a very special place in my heart...

Merry Christmas in Heaven Aunt Judy

I love and miss you more with each passing day!

  4. Terri, that was just beautiful! I know how much you miss Judy, and I know that she is with you in spirit and watching over all of you. It's so hard to carry on and make new traditions when you lose such a vital part of them. Sending you a huge Christmas hug, girlie....love you!
