Judy and her family were such a blessing to me for many, many years during the most critical time of my life. Judy gave me love, support, protection and family throughout our friendship. Elaine and I shared April 1. Oh, the railroad stories! Jug was quite as unforgettable man. And Judy, his wife - such a sweet lady. Jeanne, you were so young then! How I´ve missed her and the family over the years. You´ve all always been ever present in my heart. I´m so sad to know she´s passed but relieved to know she was surrounded by love. No one was more deserving. I´ve tried to find her in recent years but didn´t know where to look. I´ll never forget any of you and I am forever grateful to have known you. All my love

Sincere condolences to all the Jones family. Hadn't seen Judy in a very long time, but always considered her a great friend. We used to laugh, drink and listen to music together a lot! Rest easy, Jude! Love ya!
