Dear Judy bore heavy burdens in life, and dealt with them with humor. She was a brave person, who rarely complained. She is remembered with love. With love, Kay, your sister

What can I say about one of the most wonderful people I have ever known? I've loved you since I was a small child and will forever hold your memory in my heart. You have been an inspiration and a friend as well as my favorite aunt. Give my love to Grandma Edie, Grandpa, Uncle Bob, Jim Allison and all our other relatives in heaven. I pray that, one day, I will be just like you.

When a beautiful person like Judy, one so full of life; a fighter, is taken from us, we are all at a loss. But we must go on. You will be missed.

---------------------------------

And if I go, while you’re still here...

know that I live on,

vibrating to a different measure

behind a thin veil you cannot see through...
