MOM SCHNELL

JUDY WAS LIKE MY SECOND DAUGHTER AND MOTHER OF MY GRANDAUGHTER JENNIFER. SHE WAS THE AUNT JANE OF OUR FAMILY ALWAYS SENDING CARDS TO EVERYONE ON THEIR BIRTHDAY OR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. WE WILL ALL MISS HER BUT KNOW SHE SUFFERED MUCH TOO LONG ON THIS LIFE. MANY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WILL GREET HER IN HEAVEN. SHE DIED WITH DIGNITY WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL WANT.

To the entire family:



My deepest sympathy to all family members at this difficult time. She will always be remembered for her strength and warmth when we would meet up at various functions.



She was an inspiration to me, and I am sure, to many others, as well.



Again, with deepest sympathy,

My Dearest & Best Friend,



If someone asked me to spell friend, it would be J U D Y! I sincerely regret not devoting more time to our friendship over the last couple of years. I guess I always thought there would be a tomorrow. Tomorrow will never come again. I truly can not imagine you not being in my life anymore. You are the second friend I have had to say good bye to since January. Who's going to listen to me go on and on for hours? Do I dare turn to Doug, now? I'll treasure all the years we shared together. I hope to meet you in heaven someday. As hard as it may be to say this, your suffering is over. You are definitely in a better place. One more thing, Judy, watch over me. Love you dearly.
