Leave a tribute for Judy York Denton.
Judy was my dear friend in high school. She and Ronnie became our best friend while God was giving us our little ones. We spent many weekends together. Judy gave me insight into how to live and what to do when I was in nursing school. She was a great loving, caring woman who was willing to give freely of herself. She and I grew up with her grandmother and loved her so much. Our love is with her as she rests with God.
