Our Dear Judy...You are sorely missed!
It is with great sadness that we let our members know about the passing of dear, beloved and past MVGC President, mentor and visionary, Judy Bryant. To say we were shocked and extremely saddened puts it mildly since the last time we were all together at our October member meeting she was 'the same Judy’, all smiles, sharing good advice and full of positive exuberance for the next chapter of her life to come with her daughter in Pennsylvania. There is not a lot to say at this point from the MVGC perspective, other than to let you know that we plan that the 2023 MV Scholarship will be given in her memory. In addition, we feel that the 'Greenhouse' should somehow reflect her devotion, love and dedication to this integral part of the MV Garden Club, but there is more info to come as we figure this out and how we should proceed. We extend our deepest sympathies to Judy’s sister, GC Member, Nancy Cabot and to the rest of Judy’s family. Our hearts are with you and we send love to you all at this difficult time. Judy’s obituary is here.
Our Love & Thanks to You Always, dear Judy. You are and always will be an inspiration to those of us
who were privelidged to know you.
