    I was looking for someone else when I came across Judy’s obituary. I am in shock! The funeral is happening now so I wouldn’t have time to get there which I hate. I would love to honor her in some way. Along with Martha Noble we all worked at South Mississippi Home Health together and had such good times and became friends. She was so much fun and we talked often when we both left their to work other places. She was the sweetest women I had ever met. She loved her family dearly. I will truly miss her. Becky Currie

    Judy & I worked side by side many years ago at SMHH now Deaconess HH. We shared so many many good times together. I can truly say she was a confident & a very dear friend of mine. I was saddened to hear of her passing but she is in a better place because if you knew the Judy I did she was a genuine fine person. God bless her family ??

    So sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I remember as a little girl going to my daddy’s office Commercial Credit to visit him and always seeing Judy, who worked for daddy, with a smile on her face. God bless the family during these difficult days.

    Randy, Ryan and Jefrey,

    Judy was and is such an important person in my life. We went to school together, played together and I only remember her kindness and sweetness and I can still hear her giggle. I moved away and only saw Judy at Mass on Sunday with her mother, Rosa, and after Rosa passed, she was there. I would turn to find her on offering the sign of peace and I can still see her smiling back and offering me peace too. She was helpful in getting Dad home health; she just was always there and I will miss her sweet soul.
    I want to be there for the funeral and will if I can but I am so far away. I will be there with you in spirit at 10:00 and my wonderful family will sing for you, Judy. God rest you soul.

    I'm looking at a picture of Judy and me dressed in our starched jeans and white shirts with our arms around each others waist. We were probably 6 or 7. We had such great childhood adventures! She will always be in my heart! My thoughts and prayers to her family.

    Judy and I had been best friends since 7th grade. She was the closest thing I had to a sister. During our years together, there were times when my job caused me to be away, so we were not able to be together as much as we would have liked...but we always knew that we were there for each other. I will miss her dearly, but I know she is now free of pain and I will see her again one day. May you rest in peace my dear friend.
