Judy and I, Lois Chellson Fabian, were best friends through high school. Our paths separated but our friendship remained. She was a jewel in my life... My condolence to the family. There will be a donation in her name to the Michael Fox Foundation as my husband had Parkinson's. God's blessing to you all. and a toast to all the fun we had!!!

So sorry to hear about Judy. She was a great person. Often times she would donate her clothing to the poor at Joseph's coat. She would drop it off at my house and I would take it to the store. We will miss her. Neighbor at Timberwood village. Corrine Thielen

My deepest sympathy to Judy's family. She was a wonderful person and very thoughtful. She often donated her beautiful clothing to the poor at Joseph's Coat. She would drop it off at my house and I would take it down to the store. We will miss her. Neighbor from Timberwood village.

Your mother will be missed by so many. I felt very fortunate to get the opportunity to know her the past couple of years. She was blessed to have daughters who showed her so much love.

It makes me very sad to hear that Judy is no longer with us but she will always be in our hearts. I had the privilege to get to know Judy through her sister Jan being best friends with Jan for many years. She will be missed.

I am saddened by the passing of your mother. We were the greatest of friends back in the 50's. I was at the U of M, Ag School, with Dud. I served at The Army Chemical Center, with Dud while in the U.S. Army. I stayed with them about a month before I was discharged. I helped Dud build a patio in the yard on the house in Friendly Village, Mendota Hgts. We fished together in Turtle Lake. I met Judy's parents. I remember when Dud's father was killed in a car accident. I remember the births of Pam and Gwen. Unfortunately we lost touch as we moved on through life. My wife, Marilyn, succumbed to breast cancer in 1999. My children are Mary Pat, Susan, and Colonel John P. Carrell, U.S. Army. I have 10 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren. I have since remarried Mary Stafford, whose birthday is today. She like I is 83. I moved from Highland in St. Paul, in 1995. I am in good health and I try to stay in good condition by swimming about 3 miles a week.
I would like to know about the loss of your father. We really enjoyed our friendship with your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers during these trying times. God Bless You.
