"Tell me a special memory of Judy," I asked.
The other person would display a large smile and a laugh.
"Should I ask?"
"No, you shouldn't," the other person would laugh.
This was the same response I received when I asked 23 other people (I had to stop asking at some point). A simple memory of Judy erased the grief of her passing. I can't imagine what she had said to them but we all have a mutual understanding that her love of life and positivity kept us in good spirits. Though we mourn for her, her spirit continues to brighten our day in memory.
Judy did more than make us laugh. She entertained us (not sure how you incorporate dancing and work together, but she did), joked with us (don't ask), and motivated us through hard times. Her heart was full of love and she devoted herself to the people in her life. She was our inspiration and strength when we had to battle cancer, when we were in accidents, or just needed someone to care about us. She always loved us no matter what.
Judy was a true superwoman, handling the household and barely missing work. After battling cancer the first time, she resumed to work as if nothing happened and performed her work very well. When her cancer came back, we were all taken by surprise. She was so full of life that we never expected her to leave us so quickly. That's Judy; she was our rock, our strength, our superwoman.
Judy joined God on June 14, 2019 with the loving support of her friends and family. Judy loved people and exemplifies this verse as she is now in Heaven:
"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God." 1 John 4:7 ASV

Judy was preceded in death by her brothers and sisters, Junior Adams, Arleen Adams, Hershel Adams and Vivian Denny, brother-in-laws, Butch Toney and Dillard Saylor.
