    So sorry to hear about Judy. I went to school with her and we rode the same bus. Had a lot of laughs together even when we were older. She was such a sweet person. Know her family will miss her.

    She will be missed! She had the best sense of humor even when she felt bad. She always loved making others smile! Love and prayers for Sara Beth and family.

    To Judy’s family and especially to Susan,

    Judy was loved by everyone who knew her. ‘Such a sweet girl with a wonderful, kind heart. We’re sure all of you will miss her terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you learn how to get along in this world without her.

    I’m so sorry to hear about Judy’s passing. Worked with her for awhile at McLane and friends thru Sabrina Brent Martin. My sympathy to the family.

    I have always loved Mrs. Judy. You never had to search for her in the stands. She was a great softball mom to many of us girls and was always so kind to me. I know you will all miss her. We grieve for ourselves, because with a heart like hers, she is surely rejoicing with her King. Much love, and many prayers to the family. May God wrap you in peace and comfort that only He can.
