Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Judy;s passing. I have not seen Judy for many years. Judy and her family lived next door to us. We lived on Davis Street and they lived on W. Clinton on the corner. My mom and I spent many a day at the Barnes household and we carpooled to EFA with the Salmons.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Barnes and Sanford families.

Hey Carl and Stephanie,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. She was such a sweet person. I still can't believe she isn't going to be around. I always thought of you guys as a second family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear family,
What a grand lady....she was a special friend to me. She was an encouragement for teaching and for life. We shared some funny stories and laughed and enjoyed. Our prayers and thoughts are with the whole family. May God continue to uplift you with HIS strength.

Stephanie, Carl, John and family,
My heart is filled with pain at your loss, but with joy for having known you MOM and Sister for so may years. I had a wonderful note from her after I visited you John when I was home to Elmira in December. You all (and especially my beloved Mary-Ruth and John) have been my extended family for over 30 years. May you feel comfort and
peace in knowing that you have been loved by Judy and by so many who loved her.

Alexandra, Austin and Xayn... Your grandma certainly loved teaching and loved her students as all of these wonderful tributes attest; however, nothing made her smile larger or her eyes brighter than the times she spoke about you and of the times spent with you. I was lucky enough to have known your grandma and know that she loved nothing more than the moments she spent with you.

I am so sorry for your lost. Judy Sanford touched the lives of many. She always had a warm, compassionate smile and kind words to say that were positive and uplifting. Judy was my elementary teacher and I never forgot her. Years later she was my sons principal whom he absolutely loved.
I will keep your family in my prayers. God Bless.

My deepest Sympathy goes out to the Sanford Family ! Judy will be missed by everyone ,she was such a great person ,it was a great pleasure to have known her . So sorry for your loss.

Judy was the principal when I became the first school resource officer in the school district. There are a select few people in life that have a genuine love for children and their well being. Judy was at the top of that list. I was away when I heard of her passing and saddened I could not be there to pay my respects. She was a top shelf person and without a doubt one of God's Angels.
