Marty & family, so sorry to hear about Judy's passing. She was always a good friend to my Mom, Peggy Krammes, who passed away 15 months ago. Mom always thought very highly of Judy, and my sister and I have fond memories of Judy when we were children. Again, please accept my condolences. Lori A. Krammes Mengel

Dear Marty and Family,
Just learned of Judy's passing from Gloria Gambler. Judy was one of the kindest people in the world who would do anything she could for anyone. She was a proud wife, mother and grandmother and loved being involved with her family. I will remember her fondly at of our gatherings at Birthday Club and memories of the Hamburg Center. As much as she hated being sick and dependent she still loved everyone in her life and wanting to in the loop of what was happening. You are in my prayers.

Marty - To you and your family. There are no words that can express her loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles; I've only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be. Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand, in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
