Don, Jen, Matt and Beth,
So sorry to hear about Mom. We wish we would have known.
You will be in our thoughts and prayers. See you at the service.
Don, if it wasn’t for you and Judy, we would not be together!

Judy was always one of the most important and loved people in my life. We shared some crazy and fun times, and I kept praying that there would be more of those for us. My sister will always be in my heart. Love to Don, Jenny, Matt and Beth. God Bless.

Don- so sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I am thankful that you moved to Ohio for a few years as I had the pleasure of working with Judy at Paramount. Some of my favorite work stories begin with the line “remember the time that Judy…”. She was so much fun and made us all laugh everyday. You and your family are in my prayers. I look forward to the day when I get to see her again.
