I thought the world of Judy. She was one of my favorite patients whom I admired for her kindness, fun spirit, strength, and fight. She so loved her daughters..
but I know that you girls know that.
I am so very sorry....she will be missed and will be in our hearts forever.
I know she has left you with many wonderful memories that you can carry with you.
Thinking of you,
Shari

God blesses us with special people in our lives and Judy was among them. We will miss her warmth, her smile, and her gentle nature and our hearts and prayers are with Scott, Dana, & Paige through this difficult time. We find comfort in the sure knowledge that this is not the end. Through Christ we are promised the final victory. Judy knew this, lived it and showed it to all the people whose lives she touched. We are grateful and honored to be among those lives.
