Never knew what she and my children were going to do when together. I pray God will comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time.

Charlene and family, I want you to know that Jerry and I are so saddened by Judy’s passing, We have a lot of guilt in our heart for not taking the time to visit Judy, We always think that we have a lot of time to visit, and we keep putting it off and then you get the call that the best friend you ever had has passed. Prayers going out for your family.
We will never forget all the good times that we had with Judy and Charles and there were many.

My sweet friend Charlene & family, I’m so very sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. She was a one of a kind lady and I loved spending time with her. You were so very fortunate to have such a woman as her in your lives. Never a dull moment. Beautiful inside and out. As others have said, hang on to those memories until you see her again. God bless you all.

Charlene and family, I know this is a very sad day for you. We are thinking of all of you, and knowing how much you will miss her. During our brief time together as caregivers for an Alzheimer’s patient years ago, we joked that only people named Judy could have that job. The world won’t ever be the same for you, but she will always be watching over all of you. Love and comfort.
