Judi - Your courage and positivity are an inspiration! You faced each challenge with a determined spirit and ferocity, So, when God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me." It was then that your golden heart stopped beating and talented, hard working hands stayed at rest. God broke many hearts and made us sad to prove to us that He only takes the best. May you rest in peace.

Judi was as beautiful inside & out as this photo-I was blessed to have her close, as a cousin through marriage, with so many happy memories & fun visits to cherish. Sending Marty & family my sincerest condolences. She was a true fighter right up to the end, never giving up hope. Rest In Peace Judi & surround yourself with all that have loved you & have gone before you. I know you are “just over the horizon”- gone from sight but never forgotten ❤
