Rory and family, I offer my deepest condolences. 💛 Heaven received a nurse with a heart of gold. 💛 Judy’s already missed by sooo many. She touched so many of our hearts and left a definite impression. She was so much more to me, than just a supervisor She was my mentor and friend. Her smile and laughter were sooo contagious on and off the stage. The bar that she set as a nurse and a supervisor is very high, very few even come close to achieving. It’s been an honor knowing and working beside Judy for soo many years at CMHHIP. We offer our prayers 🙏 to carry you threw this difficult time. Love, Lisa M Fernandez RN
Judy was a wonderful person. She will definitely be missed. Until we meet again…
I knew Judy as a next door neighbor from the time she was born until her young adulthood. I was a few years older than her when I needed a roommate in Lincoln, NE and she needed a place to live. In spite of our age difference we had a lot in common. Will always remember Judy with fondness! Prayers for all her family to receive comfort from God during this time!
Love and prayers to all of you!
RIP she was a beautiful soul I am happy that I was able to know her. She was funny and had a great compassion for the things she did.
We were blessed to know Judy and to perform with her on stage was amazing! She was a beautiful and unique person and we are so glad we had her in our lives.We will miss her so much!
Love Mike and Raeann
