My beautiful Sister, we can no longer see you with our eyes or touch you with our hands, but you will be forever in our hearts. We love you so much. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:19
My thoughts and prayers are with the Johnson and Earp families during this sorrowful time. May the many happy memories that you created and shared with Judy provide you with comfort during the days ahead.
To “All” of Judy’s family, I am so sorry to here of Judy’s passing. I didn’t know her well, but I knew she was a great friend of my sister Sherry. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
Sweet Sister of Mine. How I will miss all our texting and get togethers. I will dearly miss you and you will always have a special place in my heart for you only. You were a sweet and wonderful sister, one that I was so proud to have. I love you Judy and you will dearly be missed by me. Go with the Lord now and wait for me!!!!!!!!!!! Love You!!!!!
My deepest sympathy to all the Johnson & Earp Family. May all the memories comfort you all.
My deepest sympathies to the family. I hope that you are able to find comfort in the love of true friends who surround you when you are in distress (Prov 17:17). Please also look to the Creator for additional comfort because he knows what you need and he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). He promises of a bright future for mankind, but in the meantime he can help you endure difficulties such as this if you rely on him (Psalm 34:8).
My thoughts and prayers are with Judy’s family at this difficult time. I loved me some Judy growing up. I used to see her a lot up on the farm when I was with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Debbie. She was just the sweetest. God bless and rest in peace.
To the Family So sorry for your loss May she rest in Peace
My thoughts and prayers are with Judy family. I grew up across the field from the Johnson family. I spent a lot of time over there with Jimmy and Wayne. My prayers are also for the entire Johnson family.
