Judy was my Nana! She was my number one person that made me feel like me! We were Gemini twins. I learned unconditional love and how doing for others might not always pay off but staying true to yourself means more than thank You’s. I wanted to protect my Nana, I could see pain in her eyes from love. She knew everything. I always asked her how she knew everything. She said she was still learning everyday. She worked two jobs and worked doubles many days. Everyone loved my Nana!!! I miss her every day! I try to be like her and remember things she taught me. It’s been too long since she left this world. Why do the good ones go too soon? She loved to have a good time and loved to dance! She loved Elvis and playing black Jack. She loved the jersey shore and traveling. Mostly she loved her family!

My great-grandfather Patrick Godfrey came from Ireland to N.Y. in 1841. He was about age 10. His family travelled to Canada and first settled in Grey County, Ontario. When Patrick was only 18, he became one of the first two pioneers to clear land near the present-day town of Walkerton. Many of his offspring migrated to the U.S, to such states as Michigan in the Gagetown area and to North Dakota, to places like Mount Carmel, Bottineau and Langdon. Patrick married Rose Denny. His parents were Edmund Godfrey and Alice Gorman.
