Dearest Marty, Kathy and children: I know the heartache you are going through. As my best friend, Judie could always bring me out of times of despair. As your wife and mom, let her do the same for you. Thinking of you every day, love Helen

Kathy,

I was very sad to hear that your mom passed away. I myself lost my mom in 1998, and I understand the grief you must be feeling. I just wanted you to know that I think of you often and that my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Kath--



As I write this I feel your sorrow, knowing what pain there is in losing a parent myself.



Please know that I have always treasured both your mom and your dad and will always remember what great fun we had in high school spending the night at your house. Your mom was such a great hostess, always making popcorn, or some sort of goodie for us to eat.



May God Bless you richly during this trial and calm the raging in storm within you.



All my Love,

Judy (Schaible) Beard

To Kathy, (and all the family)-

I'll always remember your mom as one of the best Benet Hill Academy moms of all time!!! She always had such a beautiful smile- no wonder you (Kathy) always have had such a beautiful smile and outlook on life too. It was always obviously how proud (of you) both of your parent were- I'm sure your mother felt blessed to have such a great daughter, just as I know you have always known you had one of the best mothers, too!!! And, I'll never forget those great "homemade" cinnamon toothpicks she used to make- that you used to share with me in grade school!!!

Our deepest sympathy to you and all of your family. I'm sure your Mom is smiling over you right now, just as I'm sure her great smile has made Heaven a brighter place, too.

With deepest sympathy-

Patty (AuBuchon) St. Louis

and family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.Everytime I bake a Bannana Nut Bread I will always think of Judie and running it next door while it was still hot so she and Marty could eat it while watching the Broncos. We miss you not being neighbors.

Seeing Judie's picture in the Gazette this morning was a bittersweet experience. It's sad to know she is gone, but seeing her picture brought back some wonderful memories. I worked with Judie at Spurgeon, Haney & Howbert 25 years ago. She took me under her wing and made me feel very welcome. Eventually we bowled together on the SH&H bowling team. The law firm agreed to pay our league fee, on one condition: that we NOT put the firm name on our t-shirts. Yes, we were pretty silly bowlers, and Judie was among the silliest. More importantly, she was the kindest person I've ever known. My heartfelt sympathies to her family and close friends for your loss.

I met Judy while she was employed at Holland & Hart. Judy and I worked on several matters together as a service to our mutual clients. She was a joy. I extend my condolences to her family.

I was so sad to hear of Judie's passing. Although it had been several years since I last saw her, the thought of her always brings a smile to my heart. She was such a warm person, with a wonderful sense of humor and an awesome laugh! She is at peace now, and free from pain. You will be greatly missed, Judie!!
