The lovely woman in this picture is our friend and neighbor Judy Grande. Judy and her husband Ray are two of the nicest, most outgoing and genuinely caring people that you could ever meet. Sandy and I met Judy and Ray years ago and we cross paths with them regularly through the work they do for the Devens area Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry.
Judy was diagnosed earlier this year with throat cancer and has gone through surgery and radiation treatments. Judy's CAT and PET scans haven't shown any reappearance of the cancer, so she stays cautiously optimistic, getting on with life -- but with follow-up tests every few months... I'm glad that the world has people in it like Judy and Ray. I'm especially glad we can count them as our neighbors and friends. And I'm certainly proud to take Judy along as a passenger for this year's PMC ride.
You go, Judy!
