 Judy was a very good friend who always held her head high when times were tough. I had a lot of respect for her and so sorry she didn't get to enjoy all those wonderful grandchildren. Life doesn't seem very fair sometimes. I will miss her.

 We extend heartfelt condolences from the Elmira, NY area to Judy's children, grandchildren, siblings and their families. The love, warmth, hard work & good humor with which Judy raised her children on their hillside farm stays with us still. On a good day, we can hear her rich laughter & remember the great courage with which Judy lived her life. We grieve her early passing so very much, and treasure her all the more for the presence she is for us now.

Melissa and family... Very sorry to hear about the death of your mother. She was always very supportive. I did not know her well, but having lost my father almost exactly a year prior to your lost, I can understand your grief. Best wishes.
