Bob and kids,
Our families have shared a lot of joy and heartaches together, but we still became the best of friends. Our years together with the Hearts ministry will be treasured memories. J-goo was my buddy and I will miss knowing that she was there for me. SHE WAS LOVED by the Hudgins family.

Judy was such a joy to me. From all the time I spent with you all at home to seeing her out and about. She always gave me such encouraging words and her wisdom I will forever cherish.

Take care of you all and I too am grately sorry. With prayers and condolence
Dear Bob, Children &Grandchildren, What a Shock and Heartfelt Grief when I received an Email today from our Cousin Joyce out in Tacoma WA notifying me of Judy’s death. It doesn’t seem possible that it has been almost 4 years since Carolyn and I spent the night with you on our trip out West. That was the last time I saw Judy. We stayed up most of the night getting re-acquainted. I am so sorry that you will not have Judy’s Beautiful Physical Preasence with you, but her Spirit will always be with you as long as you keep her memory in your heart. I am so glad we had those several Reunions together these past few years. I know Judy, Myron and Carolyn are enjoying themselves again, being together in Heaven.
May God’s Holy Spirit Comfort and Keep You.
Love You,
Cousin, JB & Carolyn Helms

So sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I know that it means that she is in a much better place and free from the suffering she has known for quite some time, but we missed out on so much by not knowing each other till later in life. She was such a wonderful person and such fun to be around.

Dear Bob, Bobbi, Tommi, and John,
I am so sorry for the loss of Judy. She was one of my dearest friends. Although I had not seen her recently we corresponded through emails alot. The last time she wrote to me just a few weeks ago she still had that fighting spirt in her. What a LADY! What a WIFE! What a wonderful MOTHER..not only to her own wonderful children….. but the many that she fostered as well. I know she adored her grandkids as well.I seen the proof in all the many pictures she sent me of you all. What a dear precious FRIEND she was! She will be missed by many. My prayers go out to you all. God bless.
Love,

I just wanted to say how much I thought of Judy and how very lucky I feel that we were able to meet again after all these years. Judy was the reason that I was able to meet some old classmates again and meet new ones. I can’t say enough good things about Judy. She was one in a million, and I’ll always miss that smile and her great sense of humor. I am honored to have been able to call her my friend………Billie A. Metcalf
