Miss Judy, you, your angelic singing voice leading the hymns from the altar, and your ever present wonderful spirit of volunterism and helpfulness, always with a smile on your face, will be missed at St. Hyacinth most assuredly and with heartfelt feelings of earthly loss by all and most especially by me. May you enjoy singing in God's choir in Heaven.
In Christ's love, Janet Grunstein-Neelley, your fellow "Saturday parishioner"

I will miss Judy very much. She was my best friend. We did so many fun trips & times. Her unfailing happy mood was infectious. Her positive outlook on life & faith in God was uplifting. There is an empty space in my life. But I know Heaven is celebrating her arrival.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We will miss Judy as well as the birds of the air - as she so caringly fed them daily before her journey home from work. She left behind pleasant memories that we can always share to comfort us when in despair.
