Hi Danielle,

I was so moved by your writing. Judi was a friend I could never forget; larger than life, generous beyond any expectation, full of great energy and always ready with a big hug. We shared those early days learning how to be Moms, and she made it so much fun! Her photo has lived on my refrigerator wherever I’ve lived, and is there to this day. I tell her I miss her often. I believe you two would have grown very close, and I know she would have adored being a grandma to your kids. Thank you so much for writing it. ❤️

Hi Danielle! I just received this article from my old buddy Joi who is in that most beautiful 1st pic. I am the other bestie of your mom from our early days. I’m the other’i’ Wendi. Your words were beautiful. Your mom was there when my mom died when I was 17. I wish through the years we had kept in touch. We did for a bit when she married your dad. Thank you for bringing her back to me for a few moments.

My Love Daniel,

I read every single word with my whole heart. I was so moved, tears and all.

You are an incredible daughter to your mom, exactly as you are.

And you are such a powerful, loving, amazing mother to your kids.

I can’t believe I’m only hearing the phone story now. I agree it was her fie sure. She could move mountains in her life so it’s a piece of cake to send hello from heaven 💫🦋

Sending you the biggest hug from here.

I love you so much. 💛
