Judy radiated JOY throughout her life. Having the privilege of being a friend for many years and spending quality time together has been a blessing in my life. I could write many experiences we have had together, but the one that stands out in my mind is a visit I made to see her at The Haven at Attic Angels. She was sleeping and I waited until she awakened. She opened her eyes and had the most beautiful smile on her face. I chatted and talked as she listened but said nothing. Then she said three words that shall remain in my heart as long as I live. She said, "Don't Be Sad". She was still living her motto of choosing JOY.

I will be there to celebrate the life of my oldest and dearest friend. We have been joined joined at the hip for 62 years. I remember the day she and her dad came to our home. Judy was always all smiles and she looked like an angel at the age of 11. We were in each others weddings and always kept in touch while going our separate ways.I know how hard this has been for all of you..I can relate. I could write a little journal on judy but the things we shared will stay in my heart forever. To all of you..remember the joy and the happiness she brought to each of you. I love her and will miss her ...i know where she is and that really gives me peace .See you all very soon....Judy Livengood

My memories of Judy are a pure gift. We met nearly 30 years ago and our friendship built from there. We would have lunch expecting to talk for an hour or possibly two and the time often extended beyond when we needed to do other things. Our conversations were often filled with prayer for our children and then our grandchildren...but always with the underlying joyous celebration of life. My tears today are for the love of Christ that Judy modeled knowing that she is now experiencing that everlasting peace in a whole new way. I miss you dear friend. Rest well. Carol Breed

Judy went to school with my husband and myself. She was a beautiful girl and a beautiful woman, inside and out. We had lots of good times together and she will not be forgotten. We kept in touch with Christmas cards and later on the computer. My sympathies and prayers go out to her family and friends GOD bless all who knew her and loved her
Love, Linda and Al Culler

Judy was so special to all of us! Our boys called her Miss Judy always! She was the hands, feet and heart of Jesus on earth. So thankful she is fully restored but what an empty spot she will leave in the lives of all she touched. We will see her again! Our love and prayers are with you! Lynnie and Mike Pien
