Kae (Wentzell) Webster
So very sorry to read of Judy’s passing. She mentioned in her Christmas letter that she was waiting until after the holidays to find out the results of some tests and we had not been in touch since. Judy and I went to LRHS, roomed together in Truro during Teacher College days and did our practicums together in the Liverpool schools. Our paths went different ways but we did keep in touch yearly and then we spent a fun weekend during the 50 year reunion of NSNC in Truro. She loved life, had praise for her family and was always so proud of your accomplishments. To Kelly, Kim and Father Wayne my deepest sympathy. Cherish the time you spent together and allow your memories to help in your healing.
Kae and Ron Webster
