Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Judy, Ruth & Patsy, Doris had a roar like a lion but on the inside, a pure heart of gold. She loved all animals, flowers, cutting grass, fixing things, being a nurse, giving and receiving love to and from the ones she trusted. She was a precious woman and one I will never want to forget. My deepest sympathy to Judy and Doris’ family. I, too, have lost a loving friend by her passing. Allison
Sending my love to you, Auntie Judy, and to all of Jean’s family and friends. She was one of the most memorable people I’ve ever known. She was smart, beautiful, caring and had the best sense of humor. I pray she’s at peace now. Words fail to do justice to the memory of such an amazing person. She is, and always will be, missed and loved.
I’m so sorry Auntie Judy… just know Jean is always with you in spirit. She was such a unique soul, amazing nurse, and had one of the best sarcastic senses of humor ever. I just picture her at the pearly gates kicking back with God and drinking her beloved Mountain Dew. I love you! RIP Jeanie❤️
