I was quite touched by the wonderful Celebration of Life Ceremony held yesterday for my friend, Judy Knoebel. The service was held outdoors while the sun was setting and the chairs were facing an oak tree which was recently planted in memory of Judy. There were numerous speakers including two of her nieces. The mayor of Pompano Beach gave a talk too Judy touched many people. She won many certificates and awards for her years of volunteering. She was a wonderful neighbor to my family and me. Recently she wrote a recommendation letter for my daughter for a college academic scholarship I don't know how she had time to do that with her busy schedule.

As everyone at the ceremony said, Judy always had a great smile on her face, enjoyed every minute of her life to its fullest, and did so much for others. Thank you to the Pompano Historical Society for putting on this celebration of Judy's life. It was perfect in every way the delicious refreshments, the printed programs, the speakers, the oak tree, the photos and awards that were on display, etc.
