Jim would like to say a special thanks to all the friends that came by to see her before her passing and her borrowed dog, “Bleu.” Thanks to Dave and Colleen Porter for help with watching Judy so I could make doctor appointments and such, and a big thanks to Richard and Kathy Moore for all their help with Judy and upkeep here at the ranch and regular visits with Judy by Kathy. Also, thanks to his mom, Sherry Lewis, for her help watching Judy when I needed to get outside work done. We have a wonderful Christian family! For those who, due to health issues, could not come visit, thanks for your love and prayers.
