Berna Ellington Obituary

It's been over a year and our hearts still ache as we miss your presence in our lives. We love and miss you and the boys but we are content with the knowledge that you are resting in heaven with our Father. The life you lived most definitely did speak for you baby girl. I miss our times of laughing in person and over the phone. No one laughs with me like you. I miss that. I cherish all the times from when you were little to adult hood. I was honored everytime you would call me to ask a question mother to mother. Thank you for making me feel like the favorite aunt. I love you girl. From one giggler to another, Tish.

My deepest sympathy is extended to the Judge Family. I will always remember Berna's kind heart, loving personality and beautiful smile. May God continue to keep and direct you. She and her children will be greatly missed!

To Jenea and Family

I went online today to see if I could find Berna Judge. I wanted to let her know that I had a little girl and I named her Berna. I am blown away by what I have read. I am deeply saddend by the loss of a wonderful person, sister, and friend. I met Berna and Jenea at Morris College. She was someone I looked up to. I am in so much shock right now. Tears have not stopped flowing since the article popped up with the horrific news. To her family you have my deepest sympathy. I hate that I didn't know sooner. Just remember that God knows best.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

The Lord giveth and he taketh away. To the family may God continue to gave you all strength. I got the pleasure of knowing Berna and Jeana at Morris College after they pledge. Berna was a sweet person inside and out. Whenever I saw her she always had a smile on her face. Know now that Berna and the boys are all in a better place now with our Lord.

Berna,Christian, and Cameron,

Justice will finally be served and you all can rest in peace. TGBTG

To the Judge Family:

You have my deepest sympathy. I met Berna and Jenae both at Morris College back 1994. Berna was a beautiful person along with personality. This really touched my heart when I heard and I'm a parent of two myself and those little boys were so precious. I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Judge family, My deepest condolences are with you.I met Berna at Morris College,1995. It's hard trying to remember everyone, but Berna, I remember well.When I think about her, all I can remember is that bright smile that could light up any room. My prayers are with you all, GOD BLESS.

Words can't begin to express the sorrow and shock I felt when I received the news. I grew up with Berna, attending Sacred Heart Elementary with her and Jenna, and kept in contact with her through the years. My heart goes out to the entire network of family, friends and loved ones involved. To my Lodge Brother, P.M. Judge, know that the Lord is with you.

Dearest Janae,



I was very close friends with both your and sister and you. After graduation we lost touch and I regret it now more than ever. I know how close the two of you were and I always admired the bond you share. This is an unimaginable tragedy that should never have happened. I hope that your sister and your nephews will find peace and I wish the same for you.



I hope that we can speak soon.



Sincerely,



Krystel Smalls

To the Judge Family:

My prayers go out to you in your time of this tragic lost. I had the pleasure of meeting Berna while at Morris College, not only as a person but as a soror.

Look to the hill from which comes your help; all your help comes from GOD,He will never put more on us than we can bear.

May God bless and confort you all.

Judge Family,

May God grant you peace and strength during this difficult time.

Sorors, if there is anything that I can do to for you, please dont hesistate to ask.



In my prayers,

I was saddened when I heard of the horrible news. I knew both of the Judge twins and there are no words that can begin to console. Just know that there are those of us who have always remembered, and will never forget. Judge Family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Berna's warmth and joy will be missed. Jeana, Mr. & Mrs. Judge..., God will take care of all those in the end. Live each day like its the last.

To Berna's Family, your family is in our prayers. Everytime you saw Berna you saw her big smile. I know God is helping you get through this. We attended school with Berna and Jena at Morris. Just know that God is always by your side.

To the Judge family, Please know that you are in my prayers. I pray that God will keep you so ever close to him and nurture you, hold you and tell you, you are going to be alright, because I care for you.



Love, Rev. Josephine P. Richardson

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To the Judge family: As years have passed since I have seen Berna, I viewed a photo of her enclosed in this guest book. As I saw her picture, tears immediately developed in my eyes, my heart was burdened and chills ran throughout my body. The first thing I remembered was her smile and sweet sweet personality. We were team members on Burke's basketball team and I remember all of our great conversations. I know that God has retired her for a purpose. She and her kids are in GREAT hands. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family.



BE BLESSED,

Noverlette

I had the pleasure to meet Berna at Morris College. She was a very sweet and beautiful person. Please know that my heart and prayers are with you. Always look to the Lord for strength and guidance.

May time and cherished memories help to gently ease yur sorrow, giving you hope and strength with each new day. Keep the Faith.

Our deepest condolences to the Ellington family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of need.

To the Judge Family:

It hurts as I sit down to write this passage but it also gives some comfort to know that God has taken three of his angels home. I met Berna' and Jenae as they were coming into Morris College and I was on my way out. We also discovered that their home is two blocks over from my G-mom's home. I still can remember that smile that was a gift from God that would light up any dark room. To the parents of Berna, please remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal!!!

[email protected]

In this time of sadness may we all draw comfort from the scriptures. "The righteous themselves will possess the earth,

And they will reside forever upon it." -Psalms 37:29

"Forever" definately denotes the end of death. Let us look forward to this time.

TO THE FAMILY OF BERNA &HER CHILDREN,

PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE CONDOLENCE

IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW,IF YOU READ REVELATIONS 21:3&4 YOU WILL SEE THAT GOD HAS WONDERFUL PLANS FOR

BERNA AND THE BOYS AND ALL OF US THAT LOVE HIM.

SINCERELY, DEBORAH COOK

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I sincerely espress my deepest regret to the Judge family.

I remember Berna being a very quiet and driven young lady and I am very sadden by the news of her passing. May God keep and bless you all and in due time heal your pain.

I met Berna when I was a Freshman at Morris College. I admired so many things about her. She was a beautiful person that always smiled and treated each person as someone important. I pledged Delta Sigma Theta in 1997 and was able to get to know her much more. In 1998 she spoke to me and told me that I would make a great Miss Morris College. She really believed in me and gave me lots of encouragement. That's what made her a beautiful person, always encouraging people, believing that they could be sucessful. I am going to miss her so much, but knowing that she is with God

makes me feel at peace. May God forever bless the family in this time. Love, Saranarda

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

To the Judge family,

I met Berna at Morris College and she was one of the sweetest persons I ever met.

Sorry for this terrible lost. I know that they are happy in heaven and they will be sending their bleesings down, to let the family know they are ok.

To the family of Berna:



May the God of hope give you peace for your soul, rest for your heart and a deep sense of comfort from every prayer lifted for you during this time.



"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." John 14:27



God's Blessings to you and your family,



Soror Syreeta Smith

I am thinking of you at this time of sorrow and sending you my deepest sympathy.My prayers are with you and your family. You now have three beautiful angels looking over you. May God Bless You.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To the Judge Family

I went to Morris College with Berna. I am so sorry for your loss and may God Bless You and be with you. I had the awesome pleasure of knowing the boys and my daughter attended their 2nd birthday party. They were happy little boys and Berna was a beautiful mom. I know that they are at peace and they are resting together.

God is with you; take comfort in His strength.

To the Judge family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy

May god bless your family and keep you safe in his heart.

I was shocked, shaken,and sadden to hear about Berna. I went to elementary and high school with Berna and her sister. I pray that the family is comforted by love and support from the community and everyone who leaves words of encouragement for the family. I will continue to pray for the family strength.

To the Judge Family,



My prayers and thoughts are with you in this time of great sorrow. May God bless and keep you.

To Jenea and the Judge family: We met Berna and Jenea at Morris College. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for your family and friends. Know that God who created us already had a master plan for our lives. In life Berna touched the hearts of many and in death she and her sons have touched our souls. Remember to find comfort in God. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.

To the Judge Family

I was so sorry to learn about the death of Berna and her two beautiful son's. I met Berna while attending Morris College. She was a beautiful person, always very pleasant to be around. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers and always remember to keep God first because He will never give you more than you can handle.

TO THE JUDGE FAMILY:

I DO NOT KNOW YOUR FAMILY, BUT I KNOW THE LORD AND ALTHOUGH YOUR HURT SEEMS UNBEARABLE I KNOW THAT THE LORD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. BE BLESSED. WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR THE NIGHT BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.

To Berna's Family,

I pray that you feel God's loving arms, comforting you during this time. Though far away, my heart is with you. Love, Janice (classmate of Aunt T.)

DEAR MRS. JUDGE, YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY, AND I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN GET THROUGH THIS TIME SORROW WITH THE HELP OF JESUS, HE KNOWS BEST

TO THE JUDGE FAMILY: There's no greater love than the love between the parent and a child. May God undergird you with His strength, wrap you in His love and fill you with His peace.



Berna was a very, very sweet woman. I only met her for a short time shortly after dealing with the death of my daughter's father. She was very encouraging and her smile definitely left an imprint on my heart. Cameron and Christian were so delightful and happy. Saying they will be missed is an understatement.



I Corinthians 1:3 - "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

Greetings, I pray that JUSTICE would prevail!!! This is an unfortunate and unjust dismissal of these great people. May the family be find comfort during this time of pain, sadness, and anger.

To the Judge Family,



We cannot begin to imagine the pain and sorrow that you are experiencing at this time. We hope that you can be comforted by knowing that your daughter/sister and grandsons/nephews were jewels in our church family. They were truly special and will be missed tremendously. We hope you find comfort in knowing how greatly and simply they touched lives and made differences in Georgia. Our earnest thoughts and prayers are with you forever.

To the family of Berna Judge Ellington:

I would like to say, “May GOD keep you.” This is a very sorrowful time that you all are dealing with. I pray that GOD strengthens each and every one of you where you need to be strengthened. I met Berna at Morris College, and it hurt me to hear this troublesome news. When I closed my eyes to think back on Berna I started to smile, because the first thing I saw was her beautiful smile, and the true person she was. She will be missed as well as her babies. They all have no more worries to worry about. “Jena”, Keep your head up, be strong, and remember in the WORD OF GOD there is strength, joy, comfort and peace. Remember that GOD is there for you to lean on. Most of all he is there for you to talk to. If you feel that you can’t talk with anyone else, GOD is the best one to open up to. Don’t hold your pain inside, give it all to GOD, and he will carry your pain. I know you were really close to Berna, and I will keep you and your family high and lifted up in prayer.

Shirley&Lawrence Farrell

The Best Place is in the Arms of Jesus. God is Good all the time and he has it all in control.

My prayers are with the family of my soror. Our hearts are full with sorrow and we will keep you in our prayers.

To the Judge Family:

I can not say that I know how you are feeling at this point, and my mind can not begin to imagine the pain you bare; however, I know that God knows. For Paul encourages us to look to God for strength and comfort in 2 Cor. 1:3-4, "Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."



Now, my prayer is that God will grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding.



Prayerfully,

Min. Shaunette Lloyd

Deacon Bernard Judge and Family,

Mr. Judge and family,

To the Judge Family:

I had the pleasure of meeting Brena while attending Morris College. My heart is truly sadden about this tragedy. I never meet the twins but seeing their beautiful smiles, let me know they were a little angel like their mother. Brena and the boys are like the poem Foot Prints, they will never be forgotten.

My prayers and condolences go out to your family.

May Lord comfort you all during this trying time. "God is our refuge." Psalm 46

Even though I did not know Berna or her family personally, she and I still share a bond. She was a fellow Soror of mine of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I pray that her family will look to God for the strength to endure the pain that they are going through.

You are in a better place now and it has been a long time since I've seen you, soror but my prayer is that I live everyday in the Lord to get to see you and the boys someday. Love Alway

To The Judge Family :

On the Wings of Prayer our burdens take flight; And our load of care becomes bearably light, And our heavy hearts are lifted above To be healed by the balm of God's wonderful love. And the tears in our eyes are dried by the hands of a loving Father who understands. All of our problems, our fears and despair, When we take them to him on the Wings of Prayer.

To the Judge Family: Our prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Remember, pain and sorrow are inevitable aspects of life, but God is kind and gentle as He heals a broken heart. "God is closets to those with broken hearts". Love Kanya Hammond and family-Morris College 1993-96. Berna, Jeana and I was roommates. God bless!

I would like to extend my prayers and deepest sympathy to your family. May God comfort and keep each of you during the days to come in your bereavement.

My Prayers are with you all may God give you strength and peace. Antioch A.M.E Church member

To the family my prayers are with you all.I had the opputunity of meeting both of your daughters while atttending Morris.Janae keep your head up.God is in control.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

With my deepest sympathy I ask that God bless your family during this difficult time, and that he continues to keep you. Berna was a wonderful and beautiful person. She had a caring and loving spirit. She will be deeply missed.

God bless your family during this time. You have my deepest sympathy but know that God would never put more on you than you can bear.

To the Judge Family: There will be a forever place in your heart for Cameron, Christian, and Berna even though you've had to say goodbye a place that will hold the sadness of parting, but also fond and happy memories that I pray may bring you peace.

To the judge family,

I pray God's blessings upon you as you suffer the loss of your daughter and grandsons. I pray further that God will grant you peace; that peace that surpasses all understanding. I met Berna and the twins in Charleston this past January. I was blessed by the sight of the two little fellows. I spoke to her about the joy of raising twins, before I realized that she was herself a twin. I went to C. A. Brown High School with Bernard and Tee, but I learned today that Berna and the boys were Bernard's daughter and grandsons.

To the judge family.

Although we never met, My family and I have been touched by the life and passing of this appearantly well known and loved individual. As a former resident of the city of Charleston,SC. who now lives in the Lithonia, Ga area. I wish to express sincere condolences. May God smile upon you.

I can't believe what my ears have heard or what my eyes have read. But one thing I do know is that God has a purpose, a promise and a plan. I met Brena and Jena at Burke High School we are the class of 1993. I would like to let JEna and family know that Brena and the kids are a part of Gods purpose, promise and his plan. So for your support trust God, believe him and he will carry you through. This family has my prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

to the judge family you just hold on to god's unchangeing hands and i know that he will take you threw this and he promise never to leave you alone.

My Dearest,

I have no words to express the loss that I can only imagine you must feel. My heart also aches when I see Berna's smiling face (in my mind) and think about the love I know she has for Christain and Cameron.

I do know that JESUS is the answer; and I pray your strenght and comfort in HIM.

You and your family have my deepest

sympathy (21). I am sorry to hear about your lost.

Love,

(526 and Family)
