I have lost a great friend, and I know Heaven will be much more organized and a colorful space when Judy works her artistic magic. I will miss her love for life, her vibrant laugh and her friendship. My prayers to Mike, Jessica, Justine, Joe, little Finn, her mother, brother, sister and all of her extended family. I cannot express my sadness. Karen

Judi's smile could light up the room. I am going to miss the joy and warmth she brought to the family. I pray that her new life is as joyfilled as the life she shared with us. She has left us much too soon, but her spirit lives on in her daughters and grandson. God bless all of you.
