I can't tell you how saddened I was to hear of Mrs. Waite's passing. I only wish I had had the opportunity to tell her how very much she meant to me and what a positive influence she had on my life as well as so many of her other students.
She will always hold a place in my heart as a wonderful person and a great teacher.

Janice and Chuck,
Kirby and I were so sad to hear the news of Judy's death. I really liked her and am so sorry Charlie and Rose will not get to know their Aunt Judy. She was more than just a niece to you. She was your "sister" and best friend. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you, Chuck, and Marc as you try to pick up the pieces and go on with your lives.

I look forward to the day I see Judy Waite in heaven so I can tell her how often I have thought about her over the years since graduation from Milton High in 1974. I still remember the dress I made in Home Ec and proudly wore to school as well as the cooking lessons and making chipped beef on toast years later! May we all have fond memories of a wonderful mentor and lady. God bless the family in this time of grief.

Dear Janice: Words cannot express my sorrow for your loss. Judy deserved so much better than what she had gone through in the last year and a half. My heart hurts because I know what she went through losing Tom for I know that I still miss him everyday. My hope and prayers are now that Judy will be at peace as she is laid to rest beside Tom. Love Alma
