To the family,
We will miss this graceful lady, she was always such a pleasure, and I was glad to come to know her. She truly was a part of the Mountain Kidney family. May God comfort your sorrow and wipe away all tears.

Roz I am so sorry. I know what you and your family are going thru. Your mother sounded like a sweet woman from the stories you’ve told. If I can do anything please let me know. I’m praying for you and your family. One thing that helped me that I will share with you is remember you haven’t lost her because you know where your sweet mother is.
Judy was my first true friend. I always considered her my ‘best’ friend. We were destined to be apart for most of our lives. However, I cannot remember a week that went by in which I did not think of Judy. I was so proud of all she did with her life. Judy was one of the most beautiful women I have ever known, inside and ourside. I shall always cherish my memories of her. And I look forward to seeing her again when I go to be with our God.
May God be with your family and give you comfort as you celebrate Judy’s life.

Dawn and Rosalind. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. I knew your Mom through Angie and she was such a wonderful person to me. Never forgot who I was over the years and always greeted me with a big smile and a friendly welcome. Heaven received another Angel and I am sure she is rejoicing in her new body. I know that smile has to be smiling down on the both of you and I know that she will forever live in your heart!
