Dear Dave and all the family,
I'm so sorry I was unable to come to calling hours, as I wanted to meet the family Judy was so proud of. I treasure the years we worked together on the "A Team" at the BC Health Dept.---she was fun to have on my team---always good for a laugh, but had time for serious times, too. And she was a fountain of knowledge---we'll miss her. Barbara C. Lidestri

To the Eggleston family- I use to work with your Mom at Family and Children's, she was the greatest, kindest, and the best teacher I ever have met. In fact Christmas dinner at the Phelps Mansion was the best time with both your parents. I stayed in the health field because of your Mom's teachings and example.

Dear Dave, David, Danny,Tommy,Andy & Amy~
Over the past 10 years I have gotten to know Judy. Her laughter and sense of humor was unique. I could always count on her to put a smile on my face. Judy had such strength and fight, she never gave up, she just kept on going. A quality I admired in her.
During one of our many talks Judy shared her greatest accomplishments with me.. It was raising her children. She was and is so proud of all of you, it put a tear in my eye and I think hers too.
What I will miss most about Judy is her spunk, haning out at the pool and chatting, oh and of course.. Dr Judy, she was right on many things.
Words can not express my deepest sympathy to all of you.

Judy was like a second mother. She will be greatly missed. She was apart of my life for over 30 years. There is not enough time, nor space to talk about the wonder memories I have of being with your family.
I'm sorry for your loss.
