Guestbook

  1. Keeping the family in our prayers. Will always remember Judy as having a great sense of humor, being humble, kind, loving and caring. She will be missed! Linda and Russ Hill

  2. I am Betty Johnson, I considered Mrs.Judy as a friend who enjoyed sharing her HEATH candy bar on the line to get us through the day. In this day and age, it is hard to find people willing to share with others. Through these acts of kindness, we became good friends and its hard to not to share this with people she cared deeply about. Twelve years later after her departure from ASC of Tarboro, co-workers continued to ask about her well-being. I will report to them tomorrow if they do not know they our ANGEL have finally received her wings. You will be missed!

  3. We used to work with Judy at Thermatics. very sweet and had the littlest feet for a grown woman I had ever seen. She had a sweet disposition. She will surely be missed. Robin and James Wells

  4. I wanted to say Thank You so much for all the support that we have recieved. Thank you also for the comments and stories about my mom. She was a fine woman and yes, she did have the smallest feet for a grown person. My brothers and I have also been remembering the funny stories growing up. As we look thru our pictures saying, Hey, do you remember this and do you remember that It has been a hard road for my mom, but we think of it as she can breathe with no trouble now. She has been set free of all her health issues and is now in a better place. Yes she will be missed alot but I know she is looking down on us, keeping a close watch to make sure we make the right decisions in our life and if we don’t, I’m sure she will send us a sign to get us back on the right track. I will miss you mom, but I know you will always and forever be in our hearts. Your Daughter, Karen
