We have the pleasure of knowing Judy and her family when we lived in Belmont. She was one of the nicest people I have known. So very sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Brad, Matthew and the family.

I can not think of anyone who was more Christ like than our lovely Judy. I know she is with Jesus now and I will miss her so much. She loved and was humble and gentle. There is a great loss with her not here with us but she is now resting in peace with no more ailments. I will remember her until I get to see her in heaven forever. I will be praying for you Brad and Matthew and please let me know if I can do anything for you. Your Mom was always there for me, I want to be there for you.
