Judy was such a wonderful person, I worked with her for short time but in that time she reminded me why I wanted to be a nurse. She was such a caring and tender person behind all her jokes. I will miss her greatly!

I met Judy when she was a student nurse and knew immediately that she would be a wonderful one. She always took the time to be kind and truly care for her patients. My prayers for her family, many friends, and co-workers are for peace, comfort, and the assurance that we will all see her again. Riverside has lost one of its best. God Bless, Angie Claud, RRMC RN
