Judy Lynn Walters - Born: July 15th, 1950 - Died: November 23, 1968.

Judy is my sister. She died when I was only seven years old. I don't remember a lot about her, but I can remember one thing as clearly as I am alive, and that is that she was one of the kindest, most caring individuals you could ever know. No one knew my sister without realizing that they knew someone special. Judy was the first born in our family, and died only four months past her 18th birthday.

I've included my dad, mom, two brothers and sister in my PaD project, and I just wanted to include my oldest sister also. Thanks for the love you gave to all the people you knew, Judy! You'd be 54 years old if you were still alive, and the world would be a bit happier.

"What we keep in memory is ours unchanged forever." Thank you for giving me memories Judy! It's been over 35 years since you died, but those memories are still alive and cherished!

My grandmother (my mom's mother), Adela Overseth, is buried here next to my sister.

An extremely touching tribute, Paul. To prepare for adulthood and then be taken away, so tragic.

Paul, I miss her too. She was indeed one of the good ones. What a kind and loving thing to do for a cherished sister. We were lucky to enjoy her for the time she was here. I believe we will see her again, and she will be well. I also feel fortunate to have such a loving little brother in you. This brought tears to my eyes; the memory and the loving tribute you gave to her from all of us. Thankyou.

Your words are very moving.
