IN LOVING MEMORY OF A GREAT LADY!!!!!

JUDITH CARUSO LOST HER BATTLE WITH CANCER ON MAY 1ST, 2009. She was 64.

Judy was an awesome lady who my family got to know really well almost 2 years ago. She died in a very swank long term care facility in Chicago surrounded by her long time girlfriend Vickie and another very good friend of hers. She was a really funny lady who retired after 35 years as an inner city Chicago school teacher. She taught phys ed and drivers ed. She was also one of the worst drivers you ever knew. To those of us who loved her she was very affectionately called "THE GENERAL". Because she just always wanted her way and made sure she got it. She was so organized and expected everyone to be the same. She was outspoken and very generous. She loved to gift her things to those she thought would appreciate them. And what she chose for you always seemed to fit you and who you were.

I had the pleasure of traveling with Judy to Orlando / Daytona and Cabo San Lucas. The last year she was here she was getting pretty frail and she loved to travel and I had the time. It worked out really well. I was her companion in crime and by my being with her she got to travel. It worked out perfectly. We were 2 outspoken ladies who loved to laugh at our own expense, see things and just enjoy the most out of life. Two more different people from different upbringings you would never find.
We had fun and she just loved being with my family. She called us her Florida family and my kids the kids she never had. Except her students of course.

She will be so missed and is up in heaven now, out of pain and having a party with all her friends and family.

GO WITH GOD AND IN PEACE JUDE!!!!!
