To Judy's Family,
My deepest sympathy on Judy's passing. I met Judy when she came to the Waterville Call Center for peak season and we made a frienship right away. I enjoyed the many talks we had. Judy was a wonderful lady and I won't forget her.
God Bless you all,

To the Mahon Family:

I was so sorry to hear the sad news from Laura that Judy had passed away. Although I did not Judy very well, I remember her friendly smile and warm hospitality at events I attended for Jayden. She clearly loved her family deeply and always wanted the best for you all. You will be in my thoughts and prayers during this sad and difficult time. May God bless you with comfort and peace.

I met Judy in FA and got to know her outside FA, when she did my hair. She is a special person who was ususally smiling. I guess her smile is what I will miss the most. I know she is at peace with God now, but will be missed by all of us she left behind.

It's been a long and difficult journey, but now you can rest assured that Judy is happy and pain-free. She's in the arms of her Heavenly Father, surrounded by her beloved Jody and all those who've gone on before her. We are happy for her and yet we know how very difficult it is for those left behind. We'd like to support you in any way we can on your grief journey.
With fond memories of her and her beautiful smile,

Dear Duane, Missy, Chris and families:

We're saddened by Judy's passing. She was always vibrant and had a wonderful sense of adventure. The most important part of her life, though, was her family.

Duane, there's no question that you are the love of her life. You could see it in her eyes whenever she looked at you or spoke of you. She left you with a lot of beautiful memories and a lovely family to share them with.

Missy, Jody and Chris were her greatest achievements. She took great pride in her children. She always loved and admired them as they were - even when she disagreed with them. :)

One of her greatest joys was spending time with her family. She loved every one of her grandchildren and glowed whenever she shared information about them.

We're happy that you all could be with her before she moved on to her next adventure. Take comfort in knowing she is at peace and that her love will always be with you.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Mahon, Missy, & Chris,

Mrs. Mahon was like a second mother to me when we were growing up, and the setting for some of my fondest childhood memories is at your home. Though we've grown apart over the years, I wanted to let you know that you're in my thoughts and that I'm very sorry for your loss.

A new star shines in Heaven tonight, though out of our reach, not out of sight. The tears we shed for Judy today, will turn to laughter again one day. The family we knew and loved so dear, will again be together in laughter and tears. No pain, no sorrow, ever again, Will keep us from our loved ones then. Home we will be and far from harm, sheltered in our Fathers arms. My sister will be sorely missed until that day. All our love to my sisters Donna Ross, Marilyn Hilton and their families, to Duane, who made Judy her best, Melissa,Christian and the rest of the family.

Melissa & Christian. I'm so very sorry to hear about your Mom. I remember when I was the ring bearer at your Mom & Dad's wedding. I was so excited to get all dressed up - as small as the world can be - I actually work here in Portland with Rochelle the flower girl. I'll always remember your mother as such a beautiful woman. I hope and pray that you find the happy memories to be the strongest ones - I'm sure she would want you to smile when you remember her and be happy in life. Duane - I'll always see you as the handsome husband standing next to the beautiful bride - and by the way - that toy machine gun was NOT my mother's(Aunt Tillie's) favorite toy for me -- way way to much noise :-) .. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Thinking of you Bobby Dow
