I find myself thinking about you at the most random times! I didn't realize how much I'd miss just knowing you were around, not necessarily for me but for my family. But I suppose you are still around, aren't you! I feel so fortunate that I got to know you, and while I wish you were still here, I know you are much happier where you are now.
Love and miss you, Leni

I think about you every day, my dear sister in Christ. I can picture you chatting with your favorite saints, your family, yet, still completely in awe and worship before God with that beautiful Judy smile. I keep your picture on my computer and often say a prayer. You are so missed and so loved. You are no longer a phone call away, but a prayer away. It is comforting to acknowledge this. So, as you were so fondly remembered saying, "Listen up, God...," I echo you by saying, "Listen up, Judy...and please pass on my little prayers to the Lord Almighty."
My family and I will never forget you.
Love,
Amy

My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to the family of Ms. Judy. We are new at Laing Middle School- Ms. Judy helped me this summer with my son's application process. She was incredibly sweet and helpful- I am sorry we didn't have a chance to know her longer. Our school prayer group is praying for your family.

Dear Ivan and all the family,
Judy was a gift to all of us, a warm giving person whom all will never forget. When I first joined the SCCCW and Father Mc Caffrey introduced us by phone, she was so kind to me and helpful that we became instant friends. I am sad that time & circumstances kept us out of touch & now she has left us for a better place. God has his reasons for which we do not always understand yet pray for accepting his will. May you all be strong while you hold your memories in your mind & heart as I do and know she is watching down on all of us with a smile and a prayer. With sympathies, love and prayers, Terry Doyle

My prayers are with the Godbee family in their great loss. I meet Judy when David was in kindergarten at the Gingerbread House. Later on we would see each other in the mall, she always had that beautiful smile, she would always tell me what had been happening. Now I will cherish the beautiful memories of our conversations as I'm sure her family will look back and realize how blessed we all were to have her in our life. To Ivan and the children my prayers are with all of you during this time of grief.

I haven't seen you guys since I was a little bitty thing but I remember the both of you like it was yesterday. I always enjoyed coming to visit you with my mom (Linda) and little brother, Johnny Pye. You guys were always very kind to me and I never have forgotten that kindness you showed. Even though we are not blood-relatives, I still thought of you as family and was so shocked to hear the devastating news yesterday. You will be missed Aunt Judy! May God Bless the entire family affected by this tragedy and all the friends who knew you. Rest in Peace.
