Going Home

Last week l was able to visit New York (Brooklyn) and Connecticut and Maryland once again. It was a whirlwind tour but it was wonderful to touch home soil once again.

Laura now lives in Sheepshead Bay, her happiest stop in a long journey. Waterford Houses there is an Orthodox Jewish Community and she is home! Her roommate is Catholic and they are best buddies now though her visits from Danielle are her lifeline- and our visit once a year or so, of course!

Then we went to the main event in Hartford Ct to honor Judy Beaumont who had a building named after her for her accomplishments in housing for the homeless and low income in Hartford. Beaumont Lofts is at 102 Pliny Street where she was the Executive Director of My Sisters Place for many years before moving to Fort Myers and continuing her work with the homeless here with me.

Ruth Weiner was instrumental in the original MSP 2 with Judy Beaumont and in naming it after her now. Thank you Ruth!

Felice lived at 102 Pliny as a small child and she also became our loving God Child. She loved her GodMom Judy B so much and was so glad to help honor her with her son.

Christy King and Stacey Miles were two of the first women helped at My Sisters Place. Judy and l had a group called Successful Women and both were in it. Stacey came to honor Judy as well. We were so blessed!

Senator Blumenthal honored her as well and remembered her well from earlier meetings,

It was my greatest honor to assist in Judy’s Memorial. Thank you Annette Scheidecker and all who made this a beautiful Dedication of Beaumont Lofts,

Thank you all for honoring Rev. Judy Beaumont, RCWP. Judy was ordained a priest in 2012 but her whole life was one of service and love.

Special thanks to Marilyn Rondeau who made this whirlwind tour possible. I am so blessed!

Being in Maryland with my extended family makes me know deeply that l still have a home.

Thanks Be to God!

Blessings to all, Pastor Judy Lee
