I would rather have one little rose from the garden of a friend than to have the choicest flowers when my stay on earth must end. I would rather have a pleasant word in kindness said to me than flattery when my heart is still, and life has ceased to be. I would rather have a loving smile from friends I know are true than tears shed ’round my casket when to this world I bid adieu. Bring me all your flowers today, whether pink or white or red; I’d rather have one blossom now than a truckload when I’m dead. Anonymous

Grew up with Judith Ann through R. E. Lee and Central high. Her sweet smile will always be remembered. Prayers for comfort to her family.

Ms. Judy
Ms. Judith was such a joy to help. She was so appreciative and always asked about others. I will miss her sweet voice.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Judith Ann as a very sweet, polite girl. Judith Ann and I went to Robert E. Lee and Central and were in Girl Scouts together.
We had some good times in scouts and school. I lost touch with her after high school.
Again, my condolences to her family.
