Judy was a fine and good person. I had the pleasure of knowing Judy and working with her for many years. We shared a lot of good times and good stories about families. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. I am so sorry that I missed the service and wake but I just found out about Judy's passing and your great loss on late Saturday evening. I will keep Judy and all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Judy was truly one of the good ones! To her family I can only say that those who live with Christ never see each other for the last time. My heart goes out to you all.
