John and all the children, Our sincerest condolences on your loss. One of our fondest memories is of you living on NLH road and tolerating our son Ron and his many trips back and forth to school through your yard. Judy was a special lady and she will be missed by all who knew her. I will always remember her strength and spirit in spite of the challenges she faced. Jane Campbell

My heart goes out to John and his family. I had the great pleasure of taking care of Judy when she wasn't feeling so well, through it all she kept her head up and always had a smile on her face. We talked about alot of things, we laughed together, we even cried together. She was a wonderful woman who touched my heart. She will be greatly missed.
