I’m so sorry for your loss, Lisa. You and your family will be in my prayers. Judy was a special woman we all loved and she will be missed.
Judy was a great family friend. You are missed deeply
I am so sorry to hear about Judy. God Bless and comfort her family and friends. She will be missed.
Dear Family,
We are so sad that Judy has passed away. She was a lovely lady with a heart for her family. I know that her journey of these last years was a difficult one for all of you as her health declined and especially during Harry’s illness and death. But what a comfort to know that even in the midst of your sadness at her leaving, there is an everlasting joy that she is now well and whole and reunited with loved ones in Heaven and with the God who loves her. May His peace wash over you now and in the days ahead. We wish that we were not in the middle of this pandemic so that we could get together in person as a family with all of you on Sunday. But our prayers are with you .
Payne Family,
Judy was a lovely lady and it was very hard to see her ravaged with her disease and know that she was being treated so unfairly. But now we know that she is no longer suffering, her body has been made new again, and she is now with Harry and her family and friends that went to Heaven before her. Best of All, Judy is in the presence of GOD. Take comfort in knowing that.
Sincere sympathy to Judy’s family. She was a sweet friend at K-Mart. May God grant you peace during this time.

Yes, we all will miss Judy. She was a very joyful person with a loving heart. We were friends at Lee Edward’s High School. When she worked at Hameric’s, we talked everytime I shopped there. Yes she is with God now in heaven.
To the family: I have known Judy many years, but we lost touch years ago. In this upside weird world, she is better off. Now She and Harry can walk the “Streets of Gold” together. Please accept my deepest sympathy that comes straight from my heart. Nancy Painter Hyatt
