Judy was such a great lady! I cannot believe she is gone because I saw her recently and was in wonder of her, how she found the strength to always look forward to living and loving everyone so easily. I have such fond memories of Judy at work, at parties,at weddings and family celebrations. I share your loss as does everyone who had the priviledge to know her. I can only feel better by knowing she is still living on with us through her family and with each loving thought of her that we all share.

My special babysitter Patty, I have watched you grow up into a smart, very nice young lady, and mother yourself. Much of this is because of the caring parents you have. Your mom was always looking out for you, your sister, Sean, and also all the pets. I will never forget the ALL the pets. I don't know if she could turn anyone or thing away. PLEASE know I am thinking about the whole family. Definately know I've said some special words and prayers to include all of you. You and especially your father are in my thoughts, anything I or my family can do JUST ASK. Love you St. Laurents'....

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much she loved her family, because I saw how much they loved her. All of your family has touched ours in ways that continue in our every day lives. Know that what you've gained from her, and in turn shared with others, will keep her memory alive, always.

I ALWAYS ENJOYED AND APPRECIATED A CONNECTION AND A FRIENDSHIP WITH JUDY AND HER FAMILY. I LOVED HER ZEST FOR LIFE AND HER FIGHTING SPIRIT. SHE WAS NOT AFRAID OR TIMID IN TALKING ABOUT BREAST CANCER. SHE WAS BOLD AND COURAGEOUS TO ME.
HER HEARTFELT DESIRE WAS TO HELP OTHERS-PATIENTS AND SPOUSES WITHIN THE DOCTORS OFFICE. JUDY SHARED HER THERAPY OF KNITTING PRAYER SHAWLS FOR OTHERS. ONE OF HER WISHES THAT SHE SHARED WITH ME WAS THE COMMITTED DESIRE FOR HER PARISH TO TAKE UP THE PRAYER SHAWLS AS A PROJECT.
GOD BLESS JUDY'S FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND RELATIVES.
YOUR FRIEND,
GERALD PHELPS
