Person:Judy Stemmler (2)

There are a few people in life who give so much...complete with a smile...and do not expect any kind of thanks. They appear to be capable of almost anything. They often live life with a "Don't sweat the small stuff" philosophy that carries them through almost anything...whether it's the tragic death of one parent and the serious injury of the other and having to arrange a funeral solo at the age of 20...or making sure that a loved one has a "good death" surrounded by friends he chose and ensuring that all things that he needed to say were said. There are very few people who can live their life like that, stay sane and lead a rich full life, surrounded by the love of friends and family, but Judy was one of them. Unfortunately...the good die young...
