DEAR JUDE:
TODAY IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF YOU LEAVING US! WE MISS YOU SO MUCH AND JUST WISH THAT I COULD PICK UP THE TELEPHONE AND HEAR YOUR VOICE. YOU WOULD BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF YOUR CHILDREN.

TAMMY AND SCOTT BROUGHT US, EARLY, LOREAL ROSE AND SHE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS A ROSE. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW, THAT AS YOU LOOK DOWN ON US, KNOW THAT OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY WITHOUT YOU. BRANDON AND I HAVE SET UP A SPECIAL MEMORIAL FOR YOU ON OUR DINING ROOM TABLE, A CANDLE THAT WILL STAY LIT FOR 24 HOURS WITH MANY PICTURES OF ALL OUR MEMORIES. WE HAVE ALL BEEN LOST WITHOUT YOU.
WE LOVE YOU, BUT KNOW THAT WE WILL SEE YOU SOME DAY!!

I am Judy's cousin on my Dad's side of the family. We all have a lot of family memories. I remember when Judy used to babysit us. I had not seen Judy in awhile before she passed, but I do have good memories of her. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. I would like to hear from some of my cousins, If you happen to read this. God bless you all. ]
Love,
Jeanette

DEAR JUDE:
IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 9 MONTHS SINCE THE ANGELS CAME AND TOOK YOU AWAY FROM US. I KNOW THAT NOW YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN ON ALL OF US. YOU WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOUR CHILDREN. EMMA HAS BROUGHT ALOT OF JOY TO EVERYONE AND OF COURSE KAITLYN IS A BEAUTY. NOW WE AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF TAMMY'S NEW LITTLE ONE.
NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF YOU, US, OUR FAMILY AND ALL THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES WE SHARED. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I MISS OUR LONG DAILY TALKS, HEARING YOU AND BRANDON WHEEL AND DEAL ON EBAY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, I MISS MY CONFIDANT, THE ONE I SHARED ALL MY DEEPEST FEELINGS. YOU AND LARRY WERE SUCH A BIG HELP TO ME WITH BRANDON. THE MANY TEARS WE SHED AS PARENTS, BUT THE "SPECIAL" BOND WE HAD ONLY GOT CLOSER.
I AM DOING MY BEST AND KEEPING MY PROMISE TO YOU. I ONLY WISH I LIVED CLOSER TO THE FAMILY. HEIDI, TAMMY AND I ARE VERY CLOSE. I TALK TO TERRY NOW AND AGAIN, BUT YOU KNOW TERRY.
BRANDON AND I MISS YOU TERRIBLY. THE HOLIDAYS ARE GOING TO BE REAL TOUGH. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE THERE IN SPIRIT.
WE LOVE YOU AND ONLY WISH THAT WE HAD YOU BACK WITH US.
LOVE - SUES AND BRANDON

I have many fond memories of Judy from high school. She was a wonderful person and a good friend. I am so sorry for your loss.

We were very saddened by the news of Jude's passing.
I personally can't even imagine what my childhood would have been like without her. She was so much fun to do things with and get into mischief with. She surely was a free spirit.
Our families were close back then and we even went on vacations and camping trips together. It was like one big happy family. Anyway, those are treasured memories I will never forget. My kids even know Jude by name because of the funny stories I've told them.
Our deepest sympathies to Marg, Gib, John, Sues, Larry, Jude's children and grandchildren
