Guestbook

  1. I’m so sorry to hear that Judy has passed away. Judy and Issy were always so kind to my dad and he valued that friendship. On behalf of the entire Bradley family, please know that we are sending prayers for comfort and peace.

  2. Josh and Maura, I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I will be praying for you and your family.

  3. I knew Judy briefly while she was at the Catholic Care Center. She was a delightful friend to both my mother and myself. Very optimistic and willing to share a smile. I was impressed that she was one of the few people who would pray before eating her meal. We had agreed that upon my next visit (I live in NC), we would spend some time together so that she could tell me about her “Knick knacks”. My mother and I are both quite sad about her passing.
