    I just saw this, and my heart is heavy for the family. /I worked in theHeucks Retreat Vol. FD and no matter the situation I always want to see Judy in the ambulance. She told me one time they had gotten a call to a wreck on I-55 and it was a pastor and his family returning from the Southern Baptist Convention and they had a small child that didn't make it, she just could not bring herself to lay that child on the ground. That really affected Judy for many years after.

    She was loved by more than just her children and Grand Children, and family. She was loved by a bunch of folks all around Lincoln county and I imagine she was loved in Brazil and Ethiopia and anywhere else she traveled because that is just the kind of person that Judy was. Judy, I loved you for the many times that you were there when we needed you, and you will never be forgotten because of the way you lived!

    Reggie, Robin & Becky,
    We will certainly miss Judy! Such fond memories of her over the years, and your daddy. One special memory is her saving us juice to make jelly with. I know she was sick the last time we saw her but she was smiling, talking and hugged us goodbye and told us that she loved us. Heaven has gained quite a lady! God bless your family.
    Our love,
    Jeff & Melissa Watts
