To Carol ,Ann and Jerry I am so sorry to hear about Judy I always thought alot about her. I still talk about the days when she ran that store and how I use to play with Bruno the dachshund . Those were the days. I visited with her while she was at the Morehead nursing center, she knew who I was , she will truly be missed. God bless each of you and may he comfort you ,just know she is another Angel in Heaven.

Jerry, Ann, & Carol. Where to start? Your mom was so precious to our family. I can close my eyes and see her bathing Kathy. I don't know how she managed it at the time with you three, but she always had time to help daddy out with me and Kathy when mom was so sick. But that is just the way Judy was. So caring and loving. She will truly be missed. But Carol, like you said to me earlier, she is rejoicing in Heaven with mom, dad, your dad, and her mom. What a wonderful reunion!!!! My heart goes out to you all. Been there. Just passed the anniversary of daddys passing. (Feb.16) I love you all very much. Praying for peace for you.

Jerry, Carol Fernard called me last night and told me about this and I was so sad. I only met your Mom one time years ago at her home, and I can still clearly remember her and how much of a genuine mother and person she was. I remember after leaving her home and crossing the bridge at North Spray, I was thinking how much she reminded me of my Mom who was very understanding of everything and never had a harsh word for anyone. I think your Mom was a Mother above everything with undying love no matter what happened. I'm sure you will think of her every day and how good she was to you. Maybe it's the modern times but I truly do not think there are Moms any more that have the deep goodness as those born in the 20's and 30's. Be well my friends Jerry and Carol, and may God be with you as I am sure he is with your Mom. Gene DeHart

To Carol & Mack, Jerry, Ann & Billy and family. Although I did not know Judy personally, I knew her thru Mack's account of her life. I know that your loss is depth and will be slow to heal. Just know that all the people around you are praying for you and your family. May you be comforted by these words. God Bless each of you.
