Sending heart felt sympathy and love to Judy Kay’s family and friends. We were close friends for over seventy-five years, and have shared many great memories. She will be missed.

I loved her wit and her way of knowing what we were up to. She was another mother for me. I will miss seeing her and listening to the things she said. She was tough and I sure loved her. She will be greatly missed.

Melissa, Chris, and Mary I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. Judy was a very sweet and loving Lady. I will always remember her smile and how she always talk about her family in which she loved dearly. She is now in Heaven with your dad and at peace. Judy loved her brother Larry and sister-in-law Judy and talked fondly of them. May God give all of you Peace thru this difficult time. Your mother will truly be missed.
