[Oe List ...] Judy's completed life

[jlepps@pc.jaring.my via OE]

Much has been rightly said paying tribute to Judy's remarkable life. 
All who knew her were blessed by her presence. One particular 
incident comes to mind.

Judy and Jack were visiting us in Malaysia, and we decided to enjoy 
dinner at an outdoor stall near our house. We went in great 
expectation of a great meal for which the stall is noted, and we sat 
beneath an umbrella at a table in the courtyard. Just after we placed 
our order, the rain came. It was more than a rain; it was a topical 
deluge of massive proportions, and we were outdoors under an umbrella 
that shed most of the water. The other patrons ran quickly for 
shelter. We looked at each other, shrugged, and sat still. The 
waiters finally and reluctantly brought our food using portable 
umbrellas, and we continued the laughter and conversation that never 
stalled, despite being thoroughly drenched from the knees down.

Judy made that a memorable moment with her light-hearted affirmation 
of difficult circumstances. She was a constant witness to the 
goodness of all that is. She will be missed.
