We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you Dawn and and your entire family.
Dear Don and All the Family, Our prayers are with you and May God Bless you all.. Judy was a very nice person to know and was always so upbeat and positive. Even though we haven’t seen Judy for a couple of years, all we have to do is close our eyes and we can see that laugh and the fun smile that she always had. Bless you all, Florance and Elvin{Butch)
I am sad to learn of my cousin Judy’s death. This came as a shock and I offer my sincere sympathy to Don, the children and their families.
I have fond memories of playing with cute Judy and our cousin, Lyle Ranum, when we were children. And I have enjoyed seeing her and talking with her on occasions in the past years.
Judy left this earth much, much too early, and she will be greatly missed. May her family find peace in her memory.
We have lived next to Don and Judy for 25 years. We couldn’t ask for better neighbors, thank you. We will miss Judy. You’re a wonderful family god bless all of you. We enjoyed having the younger of their kids over to play with ours as well as their grandkids.one of my favorite memories was the day we moved in. Troy sat down at our table and asked “what we eating”. i guess this was grandmas house so we were ok too!
Debbie, Sandy and family,
Sorry to hear of your mom, it’s always hard losing a parent. I’ve know Judy all my life, but best remember her from the Brass Rail. Judy never had to bring us a menu, because she always remembered what we ordered! Love and parayers are with you and your families at this difficult time
