Judy was a great gal with very talented hands. She could cook a meal in a minute for her family. So sorry to hear about her passing.
So sorry to hear of her passing. She was amazing with her reflexology and helped so many ppl. I think she really enjoyed causing pain when she worked on you. Not maybe intentionally because she did make you feel better. Pretty gruff talking but she always talked about her family and old times. Rest in peace and prayers for your family.
