Judy was the dearest, funniest, and most lovable of friends.
Since our times together as classmates at St. Margaret´s , on through the years when we could get together. Her laughter and her stories will always be with me and I´m so thankful I had her as my lifelong friend.
Please accept my deepest sympathy. She was just wonderful and I know you miss her terribly.

We knew Judy from Emmanuel Church. She was a lovely person who always had a smile and a kind word.
