Eric and Cynthia,

I just found out about the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful, loving, caring person. She always had a smile on her face and loved talking about her kids! I know this is a terrible loss for you both. Our lives were blessed by her friendship. Please know that you are in our prayers.

Dear Bernie, Susie and Rex:

My heart is aching for you at the loss of Judy. I knew Judy many years before I met any of you. Her children went to school with my girls; our former husbands worked together at the Chesterfield Police Department and we were also neighbors. Judy was such a cheerful person. I always found her to be uplifting even if you knew she had her own problems she was always interested in listening to yours. Please know that you all are in my prayers and may you find peace during this difficult time though happy memories of Judy. She would want that. I love you all very much and I am here for you if you need me.
In Christian Love,
Linda Burcham

Bun,Susie,Rex & Jean, I am so sorry to hear that we have lost Beanie. It was just so quick. I will always remember the times you all came down to Grandma Webster's house for dinners and get togethers and waiting for you to drive up in your Mom and Dad's big car. Even tough we were younger, it was still a fun time. I know we didn't keep in touch as we should have, but I am glad that we did get to see her in the last few years. She was always the same, beautiful, never aging a day. I know you all will miss her terribly. All our love and prayers,
Jimmy, Mary, Janna, Chris & Aunt Frances Small

To all the family and John:
I did not know Judy well only as a neighbor and speaking from time to time. I just want you all to know that you are in my prayers and thoughts. I know losing a loved one is not easy but please take solace in the fact that she fought a great fight and now she is in a place where there is no more pain. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Eric & Cynthia,
Your mother was one of the kindest people I ever knew. I last spoke to her right before she retired from the Chesterfield Police Dept. and I told her how proud I was of her and how much I enjoyed working with her over the years.
