Hi Judy,

Today is the anniversary date of your passing. Oddly, Papa transitioned on the same day years later. I'm learning that life goes on, even when love ones transition, but it doesn't take away the sting. I do miss you - my sister. Someone was just reminding me last week, how you always were the prettiest Clayton girl, and I agree. You left us too soon, pretty sister. Rest in peace sister. Kitty

Hey Judy,

Your free spirit lives on in your beautiful, intelligent daughters, Jenay and Melissia. Your granddaughter, Jenall, is growing up so fast; she looks and acts like you.

I miss your pretty eyes that sparkle when you look at someone, the smile that lights up up the room. I miss your contagious giggles when you tell one of your silly stories about C.P.P. Most of all, I miss our daily nonsense chats on the phone.

I love you, Sis.

Hey Judy,

You used to say when I turn 50; you would throw me the biggest C.P.P. birthday party. LOL! You said you were to invite 50 wheelchairs. I've been having that dream about it for a couple of nights.

I can't believe it's been eight years since I've seen your eyes, hear your voice, and your laugh. I miss you so much. I know you're in a better place, having coffee with Momma and Ma'Dear.❤❤❤

Until we meet again, I love you.

Judy Clayton and I went to high school together, and I think of her every day. I cant say that about all my high school friends. Judy is imprinted on my life. I can hear her singing and laughing. We bonded in high school, lost touch afterwards, then reconnected as adults. And we sang and laughed again. ❤

Judy and I performed together in the choirs at Cordova High School in Rancho Cordova, CA. We lived for music and we were surrounded by it. One of the choirs we were in performed on a telethon in Sacramento in 1982. It was Easter weekend, and the Easter Seals organisation were holding their yearly televised fundraising program. Our Chamber Choir performed If We Only Have Love. Recently, a mutual friend of mine and Judys sent me the link for a YouTube video that shows our choir performing at that telethon on TV. We all look so young, and Judy looks radiantly beautiful.

Judy, my sweet friend, I love you and I miss you. We need your laughter now, more than ever. Ill be laughing and singing for the both of us, ok?

Im sending virtual hugs to Judys family and friends who read this. Our shared loss is significant and I embrace you all. ❤

Love,
Ron Mesa

Heres the link to the video on YouTube. Advance to the 3:00 minute mark - thats when the choir performs.

Hi Judy,

Another year has gone by and I realized on this past Wednesday that it was your birthday. Of course I thought you were 53 if you would have been with us still, but Jenay reminded me that you have been 54. I miss you so much my baby sister. My heart still aches when I think of you not being here. Jenay, Clayton and Jenell live with me, so I feel like I have pieces of you when I sit and look in their faces each day. Rest in peace Jud, Kitty

Judy,
Happy Birthday my dearest, most true friend. Remembering you today, Pure heart. I never heard a drop of hatred in your voice, only the truth delivered with your beautiful smile and a laugh. I have yet to meet anyone like you. My wish always is that I had more time with you. Thank you for teaching me that I could control my own happiness. Life will beat you DOWN pow pow lol, but I learned through you to always create my own happiness. I miss you, I'll always carry your soft, peaceful, funny, fiesty spirit with me lol Please continue to watch over us until we meet again. Love you Judy, Neek

Hey Ju-Ju,

Happy belated birthday! You would have been 52 years old today, but I'm sure, if you were here, you would not look at the age, but instead, have a day full of laughter, smiles and jokes! I miss you so much. Just this past Saturday, I wanted to call you and have one of our "catch up" talks. Jenay, Jenell and Clayton are all so beautiful - and each have a little bit of your spirit. Looking forward to seeing you again, Love you baby sis, Kitty

March 7, 2017

Hey Judy,

Happy Birthday to a wonderful sister who is still so much in our hearts. I think about you a lot and can still see that beautiful smile and hear that infectious laugh of yours. We miss you so much, but know we will see you again. Jenay, Malissia and Jenell are doing really well. You would be sooo proud of them, as we all are. Much love to you on this day and always, my Dear sweet sister.

Thinking of you Judy. I don't know many people who I could sit on the bed laughing, talking, singing, playing music for hours & hours! A straight party! LOL Great times, so much fun. I learned through that I could create my own happiness & not to take things so seriously. Make fun of stuff, make yourself life. We have to be happy, we just gotta.

You're such a bright light. Every motherly talks has made an imprint. I still remember. I miss your smile & I can hear your voice in my head at the times I need I need the most. Life isn't easy, but thank you for your way of preparing me.

Missing your spirit. See you again someday.

Early Happy Birthday Judy. Love you

May 25, 2016

Judy,

Today Aliya graduates from high school, and I can't help but think of you, Malissia and Aliya watching some comedy movie that the three of you use to laugh about. The last time you and I talked about Aliya, you told me to tell her boom -- an inside joke between the three of you. When I told her that, she laughed. That's what I miss most about you....always making us laugh. I still hurt at the thought of you not being here for special moments like today. But I know that you're in a better place. No more struggles for you baby sis.

May 23, 2016

miss a nice friend. God Bless you.

Hey Jude,

Mother Day is coming, and always I think of you, Mama and Motherdear. I miss you all so much, but I know that all three of you are in a resting place and I'll see you soon. I love you now and forever, Kitty

Haven't written in awhile, but let me tell you , "WhatWouldWhatWouldJUDYDo?" LIVES in my head & my heart. Day to day. & it humbles me, it reminds me to walk in LOVE, you taught me that, to not worry, to be happy as much as you can. That happiness is CHOICE, we make that decision. I'll keep everything you've taught me for the rest of my time here. & I'll see you in spirit when I get there, until love yoooou, always Neek

We'd talk for hours & hours, & Judy used to tell me so many stories about her life, majority of these stories were about her FAMILY, & she would glow, smiling, talking about each & everyone, friends too. So I just want to say hi to everyone reading & I hope all is well

Hey Judy, I woke up this morning thinking of you. It's hard to believe it has been four years since I heard your voice. Time flies by so quickly. I started going to a new day program. Every time I go inside of the building, I think about you would love being around the clients. Especially this one client. All he does is being mean to others. I know you would make him laugh so much.

Jenay and Nelly came over yesterday. She looks so much like you. Made me think of how all three of us act so silly together. Saying our favorite thing, "CP Power". I am missing you so much. Love you JuJu!!❤

Your Sister,

Hi sister,

Reading Zetta post made me tear up thinking about your laughter during the holidays. I miss you so much. Zetta's right, Jelly looks and acts just like you. I feel like I'm raising you all over again. Malissia is doing well achieving in basketball and honor roll student. I know I owe her about $1,000 for each A she's gotten over the last year! lol

Brenda and Michael are coming home for Thanksgiving. We'll take a moment to remember the good times with you, Mama and Motherdear. See you on the other side. Love you, Kitty

Hey Judy, you have been on my mind a lot lately. The holidays are the worse for me because you aren't here. I still have Nella. She's doing good and very happy. Keda aka (Killer) lol is helping me with Nella. Every time I look at her, I smile and think about you. I remember that time you left Taco Bell on your night stand and Nella ate it while you were napping. When you woke up, you yelled out, "Where's my burrito?!?" You knew Nella ate it. I was laughing so hard. That was hilarious but you didn't so. You were mad at Nella until the next morning.

Your granddaughter Jelly looks more like you and Malissia every day. She acts so much like you. I love watching her and Clayton on Facebook. They are so cute together. Miss you Sis! Love you!

Your Sis,

Zet

Hey Ju Ju,

This year leading up to your March 7th birthday was really had. I really miss our long talks on the phone, just laughing about nothing. You would be soooo proud of Jenay....she is now a mother of two. Her son Clayton is 4 months old and is a living doll! Jenell is running the entire house, just like you use to when you were little. I hope you and Mama are getting along up there and I'll see you both again. Love you sis, Kitty

Happy Birthday Judy!
I know your birthday was yesterday, I didn't forgot about you, I never ever will. Until we meet again, until I finish this life, please cover me with your spirit, be my guardian angel & guide me in the way that I should go, whisper in my ear, I always get these thoughts that are EXACTLY what you would have said to me, I can always hear your voice in my head. I love you, my very best friend. "Don't worry, be happy" me & Malissia still can't stand that song since you played it over & over, but I get it now. We always made fun out of any situation, missing you dearly, you always brought out the best in me, "I got yo back!"

Neek A

June 13, 2014

came to Sac & watched your baby graduate. "I gotcho back!" As you would. You raised some smart gorgeous girls. Met your grand baby Jelly, She is just way to cute & full of personality. I asked her "Whats your name?" She pointed to me, smiled & said "Whats your name??" lol I know you Jenay would've had a hard time getting her back from you if you were here!

Please pray, put in a word with God up there in Heaven, and keep watching over us as guiding us through spirit. I miss you so much. I didn't cry, I did good lol It was more than a blessing to experience you. And for me, you're gone way too soon. Judy you are missed dearly. I pray you are at peace being reunited with your mother. I'll always walk in peace & love. With a little "spice" as you did. There is no replacement for you, no friend better. That hurts. Hope to see you again one day. Love, forever, Neek

Hey, Judy...I woke up this morning thinking of you. I had spent most of last evening reading all the beautiful guest book entries. You are sooo much loved by so many and never forgotten. I miss you, my sister, but know you are always with us, and that brings a great deal of peace. Love you always.

Your loving big Sister..

Hey Judy,

I miss you so much. I miss talking to you on the phone early in the morning. Miss the silly messages you leave for me. Especially, the song that Fred made up years ago. Every time I go outside, I see a blue Jay bird. I know it's you watching over me. I love you Judy!!

" a friendship that will never end " wish you were here to sing with me. God brought you to me for a reason & a season. I'll cherish that forever. Hope God threw you the biggest party ever for your birthday. Everything I learned from you, will always stay with me. I love you Judy. Missing you. Love, Neek

Hey Auntie Judy, wow I cant believe its been two years since we've laughed with each other. I can remember when me you and Malissia sat on the living room floor and watch movies together(with all the windows open and the air on with a fan lol). I miss you so much. I will always love you.

Kitty Griffin

March 3, 2014

Hi Judy,

I was just saying to Fred on yesterday how much Jelly looks so much like you. If you were here, we would be fighting over which one of us would keep her for the weekends. Every time she stares at me I reminded of you and miss you all over again. It's been 2 years and I still shed tears when I realize just how much I miss you....our long conversations on the phone talking and laughing about nothing, and our time co-parenting Jenay. She's doing well too. Though I still have 4 sisters with me, I still miss you the most, everyday. I love will now and forever, Kitty

Hey Judy,

I have been missing you so much. Pretty soon I'm going to be moving out of the house we got together.It is hard to leave it. Your spirit is all over the house. I know where ever I go, you will be in my heart. I love you!!

Hey Judey!
It's your big sister Brenda, missing you so much; but it's a comfort to know in my heart, you are resting peacefully. You would be so proud of your two daughters, and another grand baby on the way! We, as a family, will always look out for them!! Love you Judey!

"I read what you wrote" is what you said to me in my dream. Thanks for the visit, it just breaks my heart to wake up from that dream. But you always show up to show me youre still here. I miss you Judy. Alot. Visit me anytime. Ill keep writing you since youre reading lol I wish I knew that church song you played on the keyboard for me, I didnt learn it in time. I love you, and I will always keep up with Malissia. You were such a huge blessing in my life & I hope people will feel the same about me. Walking in love, until we meet again. Neek

I miss you, I love you Judy. The greatest friend. Sometimes, I just can't believe youre gone. Its not even real to me. I had to cry, I just couldn't hold it in. Say hi to my grandmother Georgie. I remember you had me & Malissia wrap all those Christmas presents & you know I didn't know what I was doing lol you welcomed me with open arms. I learned so much from you. Even when it hurts you always have to stand your ground. & even when you don't want to, you always should walk in love as Jesus would. You helped me become the woman that I am today. & im more than blessed to have experienced you, even for just a season. :( love always Neek

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, old friend. You are a bright spirit who never fails to lighten the heart of everyone you meet. When I think of you, I remember your warmth and your incredible singing voice which moved me to tears. But mostly, I remember your laughter. I don't care if we talked for a minute or an hour, there would ALWAYS be laughter. The echo of that remembered laughter is a gift I will treasure forever. I will turn 50 in a few weeks, and I wish so much that you could sing me Happy Birthday (off key like Lezetta described, so we could laugh together one more time) In my Buddhist prayers, which I recite twice a day, there is a special prayer for family and friends who are no longer with us. I think of you every time. To say that you were a very special person does not even begin to describe you. Those of us left behind, who were touched by your life, can try as hard as we want, but no words we ever write will come close to describing the real you. I love you, my old friend, and always will.

Lezetta Clayton

November 25, 2013

Hey Judy!! I miss you so much. I saw your oldest daughter last night. I was so happy to see her. You would be so proud of her how much she has grown up. I always told you Jenay will be successful one day. Malissia is growing up to be a successful young lady also. You left behind two amazing girls & grand daughter who will caring on with your legacy. Love you JuJu!!

Jenay Clayton

November 21, 2013

Its been tooo hard to write on here to you. It makes it real. I miss you inexplicably. Your granddaughter is growing so fast. I know you are smiling and laughing at her as you watch over us. You told me she would pay me back for all I put you through I believe you are so right. Lol I'm doing good, I know you would be proud of me. I will always live my life in your honor everyday. What Would Judy Do? Lol I love you I honor you I will always think of you I will always talk to you I will always thank you. Stay close to Mellissia Jelly and I. Warm our hearts with your spirit and love. I will do the rest! ? Nay

Hey Judy,

You've been on my mind lately especially yesterday. It was my birthday & I remember how you used to call me up singing happy birthday off key like how Momma did to us. You couldn't finish the song without laughing. I miss how we used to act so stupid & laughing at Popa's. I know you are at peace now along with Momma & Ma'Dear. I know you are my guardian angel. Poking me & pulling my chair while I am going down the street.

Love you Judy!

Hey Judy,

I miss you so much. I know you're proud of Killer & me for bringing Nella back home. When Neila stares at me, I know you're standing next to me talking to Nella. You don't have to worry about her anymore. Killer & I will make sure she's taking care of. Thanks for watching over us. Love you, Judy.

April 23, 2013

Hey Jude,

Boy do I miss you. As I look at your picture you favor Mama sooo much, it makes me miss the both of you. I'll always miss the days in church when we would sit together and laugh at funny things....only you and me would get it! lol I'll never forget playing games with you and Chris when we were little. I hated you tagging along with Jock and I to the park during those summer days, but what I would give today to have you tag along with me and friends. I'll always love you and remember you. Don't worry....I'm looking out for Jenay, Melissia and now Jelly. You'd get such a kick out of your grandbaby. She looks just like you and Melissia together, and has your fiesty spirit! Rest well sister. Kitty

April 22, 2013

Hey Judy,

When I came home today, I thought I smelt your newport cigarettes in the hallway. I looked at the door to your old room and I almost open it. It's too hard for me to go in the room. We spent many days & nights in the watching CSI Miami & Monk. I COULD NOT stand the show Monk but you always make me watch it with you. (giggles)

I found an old poem I wrote years ago. As I was reading the poem, I remember the the first time I let you read my poem. You thought the poem was about you. When I told you it wasn't about you, your face dropped to the floor as I was laughing. I would never forget the look on your face on that day.

Even though I told you the poem wasn't about you back then, I dedicated this poem to you.

A Sister's Love

There is a lot of love in the world,
But there's nothing like a sister's love.
The love you and your sister share is so deep.
It's so deep that nobody can take it away.
A sister is a friend…
Who listen to your deepest secrets.
And understand what you went and going through now.
A sister is there holding your hand…
When life seems hopeless.
A sister loves you for who you are…
Not what you do.
No matter where you are,
You will always have your sister's love.

Hi, Judy:

It is hard to believe that one year ago today, we lost a beautiful free spirit. But heaven gained a wonderful angel. We miss you, and we think about you every day. Jenay and Malissia are doing great. You would be sooo proud of them. You will always be in our hearts; only a memory away. We love you, Dear Sister.

You were in my dream lastnight, everytime you come visit youre always smiling and happy. Thats how I know youre happy in Heaven. You was singing just like old times. I love you & I miss you Judy. I wish we had more time. Its really starting to hit me and it sucks. So please keep visiting me for the rest of my journey on earth. You touched everyone and always talked about the best in people. You were God sent, I would have never made it through that rough patch without u. Love "Neek"

March 7, 2013

Hi Ju,

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to you. I miss you so much. As usual, I'm busy, raising Boom (lol), working. I was holding your grandbaby Jelly one day, and noticed how much she looks just like Malissia when she was a baby. I thought...how is that? Than I realized, Malissia and Jelly look just like you. Jelly has your personality, sweet, loving, funny and fiesty! I'll never forget you....by baby sister that I tried my best to keep in line, even though you had your own line to walk. I love you, now and forever sister. Kitty

Hey Judy,

I woke up this morning thinking about that time I called you on your 40th birthday singing the song Freddie made up when I was a kid. I couldn't finish the song because I was laughing too hard. Then I sang happy birthday the way Momma used to sing it on our birthdays. I miss laughing & acting silly with you.

Happy birthday, Judy! Love you!

Janice (Clayton) Clemons

March 7, 2013

Judy, today would have been your 49th birthday...I think about you every day, and have yours and Malissia's picture as my laptop screen saver. I bless God for the priviledge of having you as my beloved sister. We miss you so much, but know that you are with the angels cracking everybody up! Happy Birthday, Sister.

Juuuudy I miss you so much friend, I talked to Malissia & there is so much of you in her. I promise I will always try to look out & be there for her, I know that's what you want. You're always in my dreams. "Get em Neek!" I always hear your voice in me head. You're the greatest friend anyone can ever have on the side. I'm glad you're at peace & no pain. Resting for now, I won't cry because I know I will see you again. You taught me how to hold on to my happiness no matter the situation. We had a great time making fun of our problems, I will carry some of you with me always. Keep giving my spirit words of wisdom. You really touched my life, I will never ever forget you Judy EVER. Love forever, Neek

I shed a couple of tears lastnight thinking of all the GREAT times, how amazing of a person you are . I was hurting thinking about how much I didn't want you to go away . Hurting because you're gone . But the tears stop when I realized , I will see you again one day . I look forward to that when this life is over for me . Not now though . I miss walking into your room & seeing you sitting with your legs folded, glasses on reading one of those mystery crime books lol . I would climb on the bed next to you & it was just girl time from there . Ill never forget all the stories & you trying to get me to come over talkin bout you got snacks hahahaha . Most of all I miss your smile & laugh . And how you turned the bad into good comforting me by laughing at all our problems . Miss the singing , dancing . Even though you were hurting over your own troubles you always tried to be happy . I just wanna hear you play that song I always liked on the keyboard .

Just writing to say I've been thinking about you lately. I went by to see Popa yesterday & it wasn't the same without you. I kept thinking how we used to sit outside & laugh about the stupid stuff that went on at Popa's house. Then you start to remember how you used to do some cart wheels when you were younger. You stood up to do a cart wheel. I tried to stop you, but you didn't listen to me. You fell on your butt. We laughed so hard. I miss you so much. I hear your voice daily. Love you Judy.

Writing to say I'm thinking of you & all the fun times you me & Malissia had. I always hear your voice in my head & your laugh. You were so confident in everyone & brought out the good in all of us too. I miss u so much. I'm always having delayed reactions of hurt. But I will see u again one day. We just laughed at everything. I miss u making me sing & our nights of venting. Thanks is not enough for what u did taking me in. Love u & Malissia.

Judy, I wish you were still here. Holidays aren't the same without you. I still remember your first car. You came home & took me for a joy ride. You were acting so silly. Driving like a pimp. :-) My tummy was hurting so much from laughing at your crazy butt. Miss you so much!

Judy was always so nice to me. she was also very encouraging. In 8th grade at Mills Jr. High, she handed me a cheerleader try-out form and told me to do it. I didn't but have always remembered that vote of confidence. I remember her singing 'Whatever Lola Wants' in a High School musical. She was a stand out in many ways but I was touched mostly by her heart! I'll see you again someday, Judy.

What an incredible loss. Judy was an amazing human being and artist. To hear her sing was to feel the universe in your bones. To laugh with her was a treasured gift. I'll miss you, old friend.

For Judy's family and friends- I just learned of Judy's death yesterday. I was just speaking of her to my husband last week as I was remembering all of my choir friends from high school. Judy was such a beautiful, funny, bubbly, friendly girl. Such a natural singer-a very beautiful voice. I feel sad that I did not keep in touch over the years. May you all find peace and joy when you think of her.

Dear Clayton Family; I just read that Judy passed away. We were in concert and jazz choir as well as drama together at Cordova. She was such a special person and talented singer! I still remember her singing: Operater and Little Girl Blue. My deepest condolences.

Dear Clayton family; I just now hear of Judy's passing due to our HS reunion as well, and was in concert and jazz choir and drama class with her. I can still hear her singing "Operator, information, give me Jesus on the line" and "Little Girl Blue". She has such a great voice, and was such a warm friendly person. I'm very sorry for your loss. May the good memories help console. ~Kim Trotter
