I have known the Nebling family all my life. My grandmother, Lois Plunkett and Mildred Nebling were long time friends. My years growing up at Rose Hill Church with them are cherished memories for me. I am so very sorry for your loss of this precious lady. Billy, you are in my thoughts and prayers for strength and courage as you go on with your life. May God be with you until you two are together once again.

Judy and I were playmates as children. We lived about 2 miles apart. Just recently found each other on FB.
We had such fun together along with Connie Tippett who lived near by too.
She was such fun and loved dearly.
Much love to the family. I know she will be missed. I'm praying for you all for comfort and peace. May God keep you in the palm of his hand. ❤️🙏❤️

Billy and Family, it is hard to find the words to express how saddened we were to hear of the passing of Judy. How we all loved her, especially her laughter and joking. There was no one quite so good at bringing joy to someone with just a little ''talk''. She had a magic way of lighting up the room.
