I pray that you find peace knowing that dear Judith has no more pain. We lost a kind, happy and caring person which until the last moment was more worried about others than herself. Sleep in eternal peace dear friend!

I taught with Judy at Confed. Park in the 80s. She was one of a stellar group of primary teachers who loved kids, their jobs, and each other, and it showed in everything they did in the school. I used to see Judy and Christy up at Emma Lake when my family had a cottage on Sunnyside Beach. After our move to a different beach, I lost touch with Judy, but always remembered her beautiful spirit and gentle nature. I was so saddened to read of her passing. My condolences to her family.

Neil and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I was saddened to tears this morning reading about Judy's death, and remembering her kindness, her generosity, her laughter, her friendship. My teaching years with Judy at Holliston School were truly my Camelot years. it was such a blessing to have the classroom across the hall from her, to plant our days together, even to have bulletin boards that started on one side of the hallway and continued on the other. Our little musical assemblies were such fun to put together. She as a great colleague and friend. We shared many an egg salad sandwich on our lunch out Thursdays. She did indeed make everyone around her better. Blessings in the days ahead! Lynn

Neil and family, my sincere condolences. I fondly remember my days teaching with Judy at Confederation Park. She and her primary grade colleagues used to put on the best assemblies, orchestrating all those little minds and bodies into entertaining performances. Barry Colson

Dear Neil, Christy, Dayna and family, I am so sad and sorry to read about Judy's passing. We first met in Prince Albert where we both grew up. Judy and my sister were in the same classroom. We reconnected when I had Christy in my classroom at Silverwood Heights. Judy and Neil were so supportive of Christy, in everything she was involved in. They were over the moon when Dayna arrived. I then had the pleasure of working with Judy at Confederation Park School. She was always such a positive, encouraging, talented teacher who loved all of her students and her girls at home. Judy always faced challenges with grace and determination. Her smile and laugh would light up the room. Heaven has gained a Special Angel. Godspeed sweet Judy.
