My sympathy to you all. Judy was a very special lady. She & I talked several times as our spouses both suffered the same disease at the same time. I worshiped with her as well. I am just so sorry for your loss, but I know she was ready for heaven. Your mom was just the kindest lady. God bless you as you cling to all the special memories.

My prayers and thoughts are with Sister Judy’s family. She was the salt of the earth. She was always encouraging in our sunday school class and loved by all. I am going to miss her calls of encouragement. She is now with Brother Bill in heaven watching over their family and friends. Again prayers for the family.

To her girls: Judy was one of those girls when I first came to Flintville that gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve always loved and admired her. I’ve seen her several times over the last few years. We had discussions when both our spouses were suffering loses of health and mental abilities.
Know that she was a friend and a loved acquaintance.
