Dear Eric, Todd, Kelly & Tracy,

As the year of Judy's passing has already come & gone, it seems like a blur. So much has happened this year for all of us. I hope you will know how often I pray to Judy. I know she is well, she has been in my dreams & told me so. She looks beautiful & young & smiling. I miss her. And I love her always. Please know that you are all in my thoughts.

Love,
Paige

Judy touched so many Grace Chapel lives including mine. She was simply remarkable; her smile and her faith drew all of us to her. No doubt she is still busy serving the Lord.

Dear Eric and Family,
Judy was such a positive and happy person. She so loved God and her family and always had a kind word about everyone. She was a friend to so many and performed so many acts of kindness. God will reward her in a special way. Our sympathy to you. May God help you during this sad time. Love, Paul and Mary Ellen

Eric,
You have my thoughts and prayers! Judy was a blessing to my grandmother by coming and helping her and sitting with her during her long days at home. Judy always had a kind word for me and was so filled with joy every time I saw her. She is in a better place, but she will be missed by those here until we see her again.

Judy's smile would light up my day when I'd see her. She was a wonderful christian and has touched my family in a very Godly way. I will miss her.

My first neighbor, good friend, "Cindys Mom" (my best babysitting job) babysitting Jill, and taking her to see the pig at pjs, just a few of the things I will never forget. Thanks for all the great memories... You may be gone but never forgotten.
