    We were a crazy bunch of friends.. We laughed, cried, went on vacations together, went to restaurants and most of all chatted away in Jude's fairy garden with a glass of wine. Yes, we did crazy things for more than 40 years since we met Jude at East Hill Farm. The gang included - Jude, Judee Cyr, Terry Sovulis, Barbara Ainslie, Dick Mikszenas and me. John would always join us after his swim and always with his Starbucks cup of coffee. We continued our friendship and always got together in Jude's special, magical and beautiful garden. She had the greenest thumb and the art of making everything she touched more beautiful - whether it was gardening, painting, crafting or decorating her home. Her heart was the biggest... always arranging our gatherings... and always wanting to have a moment with each of us personally - letting us each know we were special to her. Jude was a special friend to each of us - and especially to me and my husband, Dick. We will miss Jude, but hope that she is at peace and with those who she loved who went before her. May Jude's memory be eternal... Dick and Terri Mikszenas
