Mary,
I am so sad to read about Judy’s passing. I feel like I know you because Judy talked of you so much. I worked with her at Cargill for many years.
As you well know, Judy was such a sweet, fun person. I’m so sorry I lost contact with her the last few years.
I was thought of her many times over the years, always with a smile. I will miss her!
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
I had the pleasure of working with Judy at Aegon from September 2002 through March of 2003. She was a wonderful, wonderful friend and will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Judy and her remaining family.
I was a classmate and friend of Judy and Claudia. We lived down the street from the family. I was so sorry I missed seeing her at the 50th class reunion. I have fond memories of our days as kids. Love to the family.
Mary, so sorry to hear about Judy. We always had fun with her and she had the biggest smile and laugh. I know she loved being with you so much. Sending many thoughts and prayers your way. Love Terri
Although it has been over 15 years since I had has the pleasure of working with Judy, I still recall her good nature and kind manner. Judy always made the office a bit more fun by decorating at holidays. I particularly remember her Easter season decor, which is especially meaningful during this season of Lent. Blessings and peace to Judy’s family and friends.
I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Judy at Cargill for many years and I will always remember her smile and fun-loving nature. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your aunt. I worked with Judy at Cargill, and always found her a joy to work with. Always friendly and thoughtful. She will be missed.
Thoughts and prayers are with you Judy. May you rest in piece
