Bud and family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this note for your loss of Judy. She was a beautiful lady, full of love and joy for Our Lord. Judy was always willing to lend a helping hand for others. In addition, she was a great cook for others to enjoy.

Our deepest sympathies. We are heartbroken to hear the news. Judy was an amazing woman and my moms best friend. She was more like an Aunt to us as she was so close with our family. She had a huge heart and always astonished me with the many things she did for others.
She will be greatly missed but I know my mom will be glad to see her. ✝️
She was such a wonderful and caring woman. I have known Judy for many years. We both worked for Alltel and had a personal relationship with her.I loved her and Bud so much. She was involved with so many organizations, that I always told her I didn’t have to call to see how she was because I always saw her picture every week in the Valley news!!! Prayers are with all her family and I will miss her dearly
