There are so many memories that I just can’t pick one to share. I may not have seen her or talked to her often but I love her. I spent a lot of time with her. She was family and she will be missed.
It is with a heavy heart that I remember the exceptional qualities of Judith, who was like a second mom to me. Her genuine love and kindness touched everyone around her, while her vibrant spirit and sense of humor brought joy to our lives. Through every difficulty, she faced it with faith and courage, continually exemplifying selflessness in her actions. She will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know such an extraordinary soul.
Mrs. Judy you were always the sweetest special kind woman to me and my girls. Thanks for everything you did for us. It’s hard saying goodbye after not seeing you for so long. I never forgot your love and heart. I’m sorry I didn’t get a proper goodbye but you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Please look after us as we find our way through this difficult time. You will always be our ring momma and biggest supporter of all us crazy wrestling kids! Although my heart breaks I know you’re dancing in heaven! Love you, Christina (Ms.TNT). 💜🙏💜
