  1. So sorry for your loss. I’m sorry I can’t be there to say goodbye. So glad i got to spend time with her last summer. Judy loved my son Jason. I have a favorite picture of him when he was like 2 or wearing her cowboy hat. Will miss her. Rita Uhlenkamp

  2. I worked with Judy at the operator center. She was so nice. She’d find a seat and start cleaning the desk and keyboard everyday. I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to all.
