Judy was blessing to all that knew her, especially our family. A bright, beautiful soul and an angel in disguise. Judy cared for our twin sons Knoel and Kaden, who were born extremely prematurely, from about a week after they came home from the hospital until they were in school full time. She was not only our in-home daycare provider though, she was much more than that to us. She was an answer to a prayer when she replied to our ad in the newspaper. She became a part of our family and was like a Grandma to our children. She came to our home so I could work, yes. But Judy was a part of every birthday celebration, a part of our family vacations, a part of the boys' school functions, and a part of our day to day lives. She was a kind, strong woman who had a wonderful love for children and her family. In fact, she often spoke fondly of the families before ours, her children, grandchildren, and her great-grand daughter. Even after she left our employment, Judy continued to be a part of our lives. It seemed only natural that when our children went to school full time, that we encouraged her to take a position with our friends across the street who were starting a new family. And we continued to visit her there. This past Christmas was the only one where we couldn't take her out to lunch, so we went to her to celebrate. I can only imagine the huge reception Judy received upon arriving in Heaven; her husband Mike, her mother Granny Rose, her sister-in-law Kitty, my parents and many others. I am sure they were all very happy to see her. Judy Cherry, you will be so very missed, but never ever forgotten. You have touched so many lives with your loving, generous, and kind ways. You've helped shaped the lives of so many people, children and adults alike. We feel blessed to have been a part of your extended family. We always called you our angel, now you truly are. May you rest in peace. And may your family know we are holding them up in prayer. Sincerely, The Browne Family~Randy, Michelle, Knoel, and Kaden
