Bob Long wrote a sympathy message

“Just heard of Judy's passing. She and I were college sweethearts at Biola University. We dated for about three years and were engaged for a brief time. I called it off because I felt I was not ready for marriage. A more loving, gentle and godly person you could not find. I first met Judy in 1962 on the Biola bus that took students from dorms downtown to the new campus in La Mirada. May the love of Christ be your comfort in these days. Bob Long- White Salmon, Washington.”
