    Judy had the most beautiful contagious smile. A huge heart, great hugs and love for her family. Everyone she met just fell in love with her. Judy welcomed everyone with open arms. I met Judy and Russ through Buddy Jewell and country music
    What a great couple. Russ sure loved his Judy whole heartedly
    RIP Judy. You sure put up a fight. You now have wings and no longer in pain
    Love you my friend

    Condolences to Russ and to all of Judy’s family and friends. She fought bravely, and Russ, you were a dedicated and loving caregiver throughout. The love you two shared was truly an inspiration.

    I was blessed to have been able to call this marvelous Lady a friend. Russ and Judy shared the kind of love that most spend their entire life searching for and never find. Judy was loved by so many. She touched so many lives. Russ, you did such an impeccable job caring for Judy. May you find some comfort in that and all the incredible memories that you have.
