We were totally shocked to hear about Judy. We had no idea that she was even sick and are grieved to lose her. She was the most wonderful person always encouraging others and checking on us to see that we were ok.We never heard an unkind word from her. We are very sad for your loss and know that it is a great loss to us at Curves. We all loved Judy.

Judy was indeed a delight to know and now she leaves her daughter Lachelle who without a shadow of a doudt will continue to keep that light alive. Lachelle is in good hands Judy cause she has a heavenly father that is keeping her on a daily bases and will continue to keep her through this season of sorrow , heaviness and dispair. As this candle continues to burn know it's flicker will never go out and if you are willing it will show you the way. Love u Lachelle and may the peace of God rain down on u and your family now @ forever .more.

Heaven gained an angel early Sunday morning...May God Bless the Pickens family. I will miss my Ms. Judy. I will miss her smile, her laughter, and most importantly her love. She was so encouraging to me when my son was sick. I will never forget the way she hugged me so tight, looked me in my eyes and said "its gonna be alright". She always would tell me "i love that song by Shirley Caesar - "He's working it out for you" so "i know he's working it out for you". She was a real prayer warrior. Be Blessed Pickens family and dont worry you will see her again xoxo
