Sweet Judy, My prayers and love are extended to you and your family.
Much Love,
Donna
So sorry to hear of his passing. Ike and I are praying for you and the family. We love Aunt Judy.
Art was a great friend during my time the the County. We talked about everything pretty much everyday. He always left me saying “dont take any wooded nickels”, and Art, for that reason, I never did. You will be missed.
Had the honor and pleasure of working with Art at the Sheriff”s Department. He was a good officer, good man and good friend. He will be missed, he now rests in the arms and grace of God.
So sorry for your loss, Judy! My prayers to you and family.

My condolences to your family during this difficult time. May God bring peace and comfort to you all.
