Al and Family My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beautiful wife. She was a very special friend, not only to me, but to many others. I will never forget her many hours and days she spent with Joe, and myself and girls in the hospital and at home. She was Joe's guardian angel, and I'm sure that Judi and Joe are having a wonderful visit right now. Judi said she felt like we should be sisters, and I loved her for that. Everyone loved her for her kind spirit,her compassion, her love of nature, cats, and her beautiful smile. Thank you Al for taking such wonderful care of her. Cherish all your sweet memories.
lisa Patrick and riley .our sympathy goes out to your family, our thoughts are with you.
Alan and family, your beautiful, vibrant Judith has gone before you. Please receive our sincere condolences. What a joy it has been to know her from LGT Family Church. She radiated the love and peace of her Saviour and she is with Him now. We will miss her also. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit bring you many wonderful memories of this lovely lady who is waiting for you to join her!
Our deepest sympathy at this very sad time. Her friendship will be treasured by all. We will be holding all the family in our hearts. Hugh & Blanche
Al and family: Of course you will miss Judy greatly but concentrating on the memories of good times and good things will begin to relieve the pain. My sympathy.
Al and family: I'm sad that such a lovely lady has left us, but I am glad that her suffering is over. I will always remember dinner dances when Judy and her partner what's-his-name put on a wonderful show out on the floor. Their joy was obvious to us all...

Alan and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember what a vibrant spirit Judith was and think fondly about her love of the color purple! You were both an incredible part of our Parkinson's community and will be missed greatly. Sending you love and support.
To the Family with sincere sympathy for the passing of one of God's Angels. Last Saturday, I sat beside her at the meeting. I had my arms around her thin body. I have had the pleasure of knowing her since 1998. She knew I was there because she gave a little smile and squeezed my hand. She always said I never forgot her birthday April 1st and would say to Al how I remembered again. Well Judi you can watch over us remaining Parkinson folks until we meet again. God Bless you and the family. At least we have a real Saint Al Richards for Judi's wonderful care
Al, Chris & Family: We spoke to Judith on the Saturday afternoon at the meeting.....knowing her since 'Pinegrove' ..... it's difficult to put our feelings into words, our sincere condolences, You and Judy are in our thoughts and prayers. Suzanne & Gary
Lisa and family........ you are in my thoughts and prayers. May the memories of your mother carry you through this difficult time. May her eternal smile shine down on you and your loved ones She certainly had an awesome grin!
I was deeply saddened by the news of Judy passing. My heart felt condolences to you and your family.

Al and family, so sorry to hear about Judy. We always enjoyed your garden from across the street, possibly the best vantage point. I think of her often as I work in my own garden, and will continue to do so. She was a great neighbour and a wonderful lady. I feel lucky to have known her.
