I am so heartsick to just learn of Judy's passing and now, Sarah's. I owe so much to Judy, Rod and Gwen for taking me under their wing when I moved back to LR and as I worked at Charlie for five years. Your entire family was (and I'm sure still is) very rich in love and were never ashamed to share that with your friends. I will deeply miss that beautiful little lady, her stories of her trips to Mexico, her precious and perfectly painted red nails (I still do mine just like hers!) and teaching me so much about how to love life and love those who are in our lives. My prayers are with you all especially as you are now faced with the loss of Sarah. Much love- Angelica Luna Rogers
