Some of our most treasured memories will always be the Timber Lakes neighborhood of the 1980’s. Those were magical years for us and our young children . . . a simpler time and place. Judy was front and center in creating the fun we had back then, always wearing a smile and sharing a laugh. Our prayer is that those wonderful memories and the eternally true promises of our Lord and Savior will comfort her family in the coming months and years. Grateful for our visit a few weeks ago – we will miss her.
Dear Jim, Sandra, Heidi and Chad, Philip and I wanted to thank you for allowing us to spend time with your mom during April and June. Even though it was heartbreaking to see her so sick, it was nice to spend quality time reminiscing about days gone by and the many adventures and laughs we shared. When I was looking back at pictures to send to you I had forgotten some of the trips we’d taken. Like in 2009 when we took your mom to Puerto Vallarta Mexico to our condo with our other friend, Sean, who sadly has also passed away. The four of us parasailed, drank lots of tequila and enjoyed the sunny weather and beach. And since it was your mom’s first time in Mexico, in typical Judy fashion, every time she introduced herself, it was as, ‘Hi, I’m Judy and I’m a Mexican Virgin!”. Everyone loved her, how could they not. Judy was never without a smile, always in good humor and fun to be around. She brought a bright light to every room she entered and was always kind to a fault. If I could describe my friend in one word it would be – Tinkerbell. Judy had a special fairy dust magic that kept people laughing and made all occasions special. She was one-of-a-kind and she will be dearly missed. We are not going to drive in to attend the funeral on Saturday. We got to spend time with her before she passed and that was very special for us. We wish you God’s blessings as you remember your mom on Saturday and know our hearts and prayers are with you.  Hugs, Jodi and Philip Guillemette
Just feeling sad and wishing I were there – to reminisce and remember the good times that we all shared. Much love.
It’s been 3 years since you’ve been in your eternal resting place. There has not been a day that has past that I don’t think of you.. The clock you bought still hangs on the wall, the photos of us together with our crazy crazy costumes still graces RENEW CONSIGN & CAFE and I still serve “the
JUDY SPECIAL” Your favorite 3:00pm dessert / pie sampler. A sliver of warm Cranberry Apple Pie with a sliver of Pecan Pie served with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream ( from Braums). Darren and I stop by your house every week while playing golf and ” we say Hey Judy, put a good word in to the golf Gods or this rounds for you Judy” Your presence is still felt everywhere, but there’s a huge void in my life and I miss you everyday. It’s just not the same without you – I love you Judy and I’m so blessed that you were my best friend!! You gave yourself unconditionally to your church, family, friends and anyone that met you. We all miss you and I can’t wait to see your beautiful smiling face again.
