I rejoice for Judi's home going to the very presence of our Lord. And what a reunion with her beloved Tom.
I am saddened for family and friends who will miss her presence. "We grieve, but not as those who have no hope."
It was a joy growing up as lifelong friends at First Baptist, Fort Smith, graduating from FSHS in 1958.
I know I will see her again some day!

Judie and Janie two of the original Birthday girls are celebrating together. They have not been able to do that in a long time. Tom is telling the to “ remember what they know “. We will miss our loved ones, but they are in the wonderful place in the presence of Jesus .

Mark and Matt, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear mother. I had the pleasure of meeting her when Tom was my softball coach many years ago. She was such a sweet lady. My prayers for you to find strength and peace as you face the days ahead of you without her. Have joy knowing that you will be with her and your dad again one day. God be with you and comfort you as only He can.

So many wonderful memories of Judie, Tom and all of you! I just know she ran into the arms of Jesus, then turned around and looked for Tom. Our prayers are with all of you, but what a gift she gave you by leaving you the knowledge of where she is and will be waiting on each and every one of you. Love you all so much.
