Buddy,Barbara, and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Judy’s cancer and passing. We just got back in town, but Maxine was nice enough to e-mail me and let us know. I didn’t know she had been that sick and was certainly sorry to hear the news. We went back a long ways and even though we hadn’t kept in touch it was still a very sad message to receive. I know you are all feeling the pain and our thoughts are with you. At least she is now in peace.
Sincerely,
Brian and Sara Murden
Dear Buddy and Barbara,I was shocked when i opened the paper this morning.Judy was always a very kind person to me.My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this hard time.
Dear Buddy and family, I was so sorry to hear about Judys’ passing. She was in our office not that long ago and I asked her if she was “Buddy’s Daughter” and she said yes “not Judy Riggs” but Buddys daughter. She so loves you and I know you are heart broken. May God keep a hand on your shoulder and heart in this hard time of your life. I am thinking of you in this time of your life and wish you the courage to go on as hard as it will be.
Fondly, Lois Richards Radiology office.

I just heard the news about Judy yesterday. I didn’t even know she was sick. It goes to tell that no matter how busy our own lives are, we should take the time to reach out to old friends once in awhile. My sincere condolences to the whole family. I hope Buddy is holding up okay.
My deepest sympathy to Judy’s family. I remember visiting with the Parker’s when I was a child and have so many fond memories. God Bless…
Thinking of you during this time of saddness, so hard to believe….May you find comfort and peace in your memories of Judy. Blessings to each of you.
To Judy’s Family,
May your hearts be filled with warm & happy memories of Judy. Her kind & gentle spirit will be missed by many. She is now pain free and at peace. God bless you all as you grieve, yet, celebrate Judy’s life.
