I'm so blessed to be the niece of this amazing woman. Aunt Judy is the definition of a free spirit. She was always smiling especially with her eyes. I can't believe she is gone and I can't believe we are forced to say good bye. We love you Judy, and will be sending love, prayers and messages your way.

You were truly one of the greatest and strongest women I have known. I'm so proud of your will to fight, but I'm glad that you are finally at peace. I refuse to say that you lost your battle to cancer - that implies that you gave up. You won, aunt Judy - you definitely won. Enjoy being pain free and at peace. It's going to be very hard to say goodbye to you, but I know that you will always be watching over this family - just like you always have while you were with us. I will miss you, and I love you so very much.
