So many memories of combined family fun! Sunday nights with food and fun in the basement as the parents talked and played cards. Garage sales! Summers spent swimming at Ceraland. Sending heartfelt sympathy to you all. She will be greatly missed, but she is in such good company now.

Our hearts go out to the family. Judy was a great lady. I had not seen her for years, but I still considered her my friend. My boy and her boys grew up together. We can’t be there tomorrow to pay our respects, but we will be thinking of the Jackson family in our prayers. Clara and Les Jackman, Jr.
Judy you were a good friend co worker and neighbor. I will miss you. I will miss our times out sharing a meal and our ice cream after it. I will miss the conversations we had and the like minded faith we had that drew us to each other. I know you are now in your heavenly home you always talked about. Rest in peace dear friend. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
