OMG! Renee, Roxanne and family my heart goes out to you all! I just learned of Judy's passing. My prayers to you and your entire family. Judy was a remarkable and very special woman and was a joy to so many of us. I have memories of the two of us just "cracking up" laughing so hard we'd be wiping tears from our eyes...those were the special moments with Judy that I will always treasure! Judy was strong and brave...she lived her life fearlessly...always able to climb life's rugged mountains & terrains. What a trooper and inspiration! I had the wonderful opportunity to know & work with Judy at DaVita when she hired me in 2006. I will cherish my memories of Judy and the way she touched my life. God's peace & blessings to the family of Judy A. Piper. Daisy Harris

Judy took me under her wing when I moved to K.C. and began working with her at Davita. She introduced me to her daughter, Renee who I also worked with. Thank You, Judy for giving me one of my dearest friends, Renee, and being a good friend as well. Fun times!
May You find peace and comfort through this difficult time.

My dearest & best friend Judy, oh how I will miss you. I'll miss our times together, our times partying, our times having dinner out, our times just sitting & talking, shopping & just spending time together.
I have always loved you and will continue to do so until my last breathe.
