Judy had written the following message:

"I wanted to let my family and friends know that I have decided that it is time for me to travel to a beautiful place that I will not return from. This is very important to me as I have longed to see my husband, daughter and many others for a very long time. I am so excited for the reunion that I shall have with them. Please don't worry my loves, I am dancing, cooking, crocheting and laughing. My heart is content. The food is wonderful and I will never gain an ounce. I have taught you all everything that I can throughout the years but I do have some final instructions for you all. Celebrate my life, stay strong, hold tight and remember family comes first. Work hard and be responsible. If it makes you happy….go for it! Laugh….oh my, laugh as hard as you can. Respect people, treat them with kindness and help them when you can. Love…fill your heart with love. It is time for all of you to fill your lives with the adventures that come your way. Don't be afraid to take a step forward but please never look back. The past is just that, I am happy. Thank you all for loving me as you have. Find comfort in knowing that I am with my Teddy Bear."
