My condolences to you and your family, may she rest in peace.❤️
Too sad. Our hearts go out to the whole family. She was so nice . I’m glad I owned the restaurant across the street from your dad’s barber shop. That gave me the opportunity to meet your entire family. The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. She was a wonderful person your dad is a legend and all of you are just as classy as she was. God bless her and your family
Mark and I are thinking of you and your family as you navigate this loss and remembering the incredible person your mom Judi was. I always looked forward to the holidays to enjoy her cookies (especially the chocolate krinkle ones!) May the memories of her comfort you during these difficult times. Love to all. 💔🙏✝️❤️
Jodi I’m so sorry. I’m thinking of you and your family.
Judi was a wonderful person to her core. There was no denying Judi’s love for her family and she cherished every minute spent with them. She had a great sense of humor and a laugh that was very contagious. We were blessed to have her as a part of our family and she will be greatly missed.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Judi was an extraordinary woman, an amazing mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend whose light reached everyone who was lucky enough to know her. She had a soul that was endlessly giving, a laugh and smile that could lift any room, and a way of making people feel seen, supported, and loved.
Judi was my friend, and I will forever be grateful for the bond we shared. From the moment we met at Paychex, we had an instant connection, and I knew she would always be part of my life and she truly was. She stood with me through some of my hardest moments, encouraging me with the same compassion and warmth she gave so freely to those she loved.
When she called in these last few weeks to share her illness and to say goodbye, my heart broke knowing the world was losing such a beautiful soul. But even in that moment, my heart was full of gratitude because I was blessed to know her, to love her, and to be loved by her.
Please know how much she adored her family. She spoke of you with such pride, tenderness, and joy. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing the impact she had on so many lives. I will carry her spirit with me always.
My deepest condolences, and all my love to your family.

Very sorry, friend.
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother.
Our sincere condolences to you and your family.
We are so sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. She was a wonderful person, dear friend and neighbor. Our sympathies go out to Roger and her family who she cherished. Rest in Peace my friend.
Jodi, I am so sorry to hear of you and your family’s loss of your beautiful mother. My thoughts and prayers to your whole family.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I was so fortunate to have crossed paths with Judi when we both worked at Paychex. We became fast friends and she saw me through some very tough times in my life. Her love for her family, laugh, smile, wit, cookies, perfectly manicured nails and never a hair out of place will stay with me forever.
I know she is looking down and so so proud of the legacy she left. Rest in peace my friend and fly high. Sending prayers, love and hugs to her entire family!
Roger & Family,
My heart breaks for all of you. When Judi left us she took a piece of all of our hearts. It’s not very often that you meet someone with such a pure heart. I met Judi when I became one of her neighbors at the Villas. She immediately made me feel as if I had known her for years. And that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. She was kind, generous, thoughtful & always there to make me smile. I will forever be grateful that she was a part of my life. She will be terribly missed.
