Mrs. Davidson was a very important part of our lives. We miss her very much. We hope you feel some small comfort in knowing the deep and positive impact she had on Jem. All our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Just learned this morning of Judy’s passing. This world has never seen a more thoughtful, compassionate, and kind person. Judy was one of a kind. She was a champion for all and touched so many lives. She was a true friend and will be missed. My condolences to the Davidson family.
