All of Judy’s family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers always and especially today, the day of celebrating her life. I am so sorry I couldn’t be there in person today but I am there in spirit! I feel a deep sadness and loss of a great lifelong friend and my heart goes out to you all. I can hear Judy’s laughter in my head right now, she was always laughing and had such a positive outlook on life. I’m sending love, peace and comfort to all today! Love, Shawn Spare Lemmer

Judy, my aunt Judy, my “AJ” was not just my aunt but my Godmother. We shared such a strong and unique bond that I will spend every day of my life cherishing. I miss her laugh, and our almost daily text exchanges about octopus, life, prayers, and silly pictures. She is the biggest inspiration and I miss her dearly. I’m looking forward to celebrating her magic in June.
