Phil, Mary, Brad, Kathy and Aaron,
So sorry for your loss. I am greatful I had the chance to visit Judy a few times while she was here at Old Orchard. She was always smiling and always ready to lend a hand. She was strong in her faith and loved her family. She is at peace and now heaven gained another beautiful angel.

Dear PD, Mary and Brad, Kathy and Aaron,

Judy was the type of person who inspired integrity in those around her; she encouraged others to be the best people they could be. That's reflected in your life by your strong faith.
Her love of her God and His Blessed Mother were such a part of her everyday life. She was a role model for all of us to demonstrate and practice that strong devotion.
I admire the life that Judy lived. She was kind, gentle, non-judgemental, loving and devout.
I know in my heart, she was welcomed with open arms by Our Blessed Lady and is resting in peace with all the Angels and Saints. A peace she earned and is so well-deserved.
Rest assured of my prayers for comfort and strength to endure this great loss.

Dear PD, Mary and Kathy,
Deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved wife and mother. She was a lovely lady admired by all who knew her.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

P.D., Kathy and Aaron--All of you are in my prayers. I was fortunate enough to get to know Judy and spend time with her before her passing. Seeing Judy and P.D. together always brought tears to my eyes--it was obvious how in love they were. You have a beautiful family. Judy was such a sweetheart and it was very apparent that she was an amazing mother. Thank you for allowing me to care for your mother/wife. You all will be in my prayers during this very difficult time.

Dear Philip, Mary, Kathy and family,

I am saddened to read of the passing of your beloved Judy.
You were wonderful neighbors and after Kent and I moved to Bethlehem, Judy watched over my Mom. Judy was a gem.
We are all thinking of you and hope your special memories will be a comfort in trying days ahead.

Mary, Brad, Kathy and Aaron, I returned home just yesterday after being in Bradenton for 2 months and learned of Judy's passing, Please accept my sincerest condlences. When I learned of her being in Hospice Care, I thought to myself, she will wait for Mary. Know that you all will be remembered in my prayers. Judy was an extremely humble, gentle and caring person and I am sure, our Divine Lord has a special place in heaven for her. God Bless.
