“Sherry and Scott, I’m so sorry about your mom. She’s one of the most beautiful souls that I’ve ever met. My parents love her dearly. You can’t even imagine the thrill all those years ago when mom and dad would say “we are going to the Knapkes today”. Your mom and my mom were such great friends. And your mom has been such a sweet Angel in my adult life. My heart goes out to you both. Your mom is incredible. My mom has always said that “Judy is a saint”. I’m sure St Jude knows that as well. Prayers and strength to both of you. I’m sorry we haven’t kept in contact. I plan on coming to the service. Love you both ♥️ Amy”

“Sherry and Scott, I am so sorry for your loss. This is John I am Sandy’s Son. I just wanted to pass on my condolences. Obviously my siblings and I have known your mom for our entire lives. I always looked forward to her visits down to Orlando, not only because I enjoyed her company and the stories I got to hear about my Mom’s high school years but the pure joy it gave my Mom just knowing “Judy” was coming into town. They truly enjoyed each other’s company and Mom is devastated as you guys are. I just spoke with my mom tonight and she is very blessed to be able to come up and celebrate your mom‘s life in a few weeks. I will continue to keep you guys and your family in my prayers in this difficult time.”
