I am so sorry to learn of Judy’s passing. I just have tried to look her up today after seeing EPiC. Judy was my mom‘s cousin. (Karee Corchran was my mother, Sylvia Corchran was my grandma and Willie’s sister) I met Judy in the 80s when she and your dad came to our house in Apple Valley Minnesota. She brought the VHS tape “ Elvis That’s The Way It Is” among other Elvis memorabilia that she’s so generously and kindly gave me. She’s solidified my lifelong love of Elvis. My heart goes out to all of you. I lost my mother, Karee, in April 2017. Sending love and condolences. I only wish Judy could have seen this newest Elvis film.
