I’m so sorry my deepest condolences to Mr Walden. I will miss her dearly. She was a great sweet lady. I would see her 2-3 times a week until I stopped working for the company. I will have u in my heart always. When I went to your house here in Georgetown your neighbor told me she had passed I started crying I couldn’t believe it. ??❤️
Peggy, I’m so very sorry to hear about your sister. I didn’t know her, but the comments left by those who did paint a loving memory for you and rest of your family.
Judy was a brave and beautiful woman. She was loved by all especially her sisters Carol and Peggy. May they find peace in knowing that she is in heaven with those who loved her and who have gone before.
Growing up, I developed Judy a deep appreciation for Judy. Her sweet disposition and abundant kindness, which she freely bestowed on those around her, continue to be an inspiration for me today. Although she suffered a great deal of adversity, she maintained those qualities throughout her adult life. Judy was a southern lady in her own unique way. She suffered a great deal physically, but never let pain or depression rule her life. Through all of her challenges, she remained a loving, caring, individual, more concerned with those she loved than for herself. To say that Judy will be missed, would be an understatement. . May the peace of God comfort her family and friends. My heart and my prayers are with you in our loss.
Peggy, Carol and entire family,
With loving memories of Judy. She will be greatly missed. Her warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit will be remembered forever. Prayers and thoughts are with each of you.
