Dear Angie, Cami, Ryan and families, I remember my mother-in-law praising your mom way back when you were children. She sat behind you in church and LOVED all of you! Since then, I have met and become to know each of you and I understand why she thought you were such a special family. I know the pain will linger for this tragic loss but just know that she will continue to live in each of you. Love and Prayers, Bill and Patty Cannady

We have such fond memories of Judy. We knew her when she lived in Hinesville many years ago. However, frequently we would see her somewhere in Savannah on our trips there. She always gave us a hug and a beautiful smile. We talked as though we had not been apart for a long time. Her cheerfulness always made us feel good. Our prayer is that God will soon mend your broken hearts as only He can do and that you will cherish the wonderful memories of your mother/grandmother that will bring her beautiful smile to your face. Sincerely,
- Ginger and Pete Clark, Hinesville, GA
I first met Judy when we worked together at Dean Witter in the early l980s. I will surely miss her beautiful smile and sweet personality. She was diffently one of a kind.

What a shame! Judy, we will miss you.

We were privileged to be Judy's neighbor and looked forward to her cheerful morning greetings, that million dollar smile, and some evening walks. Most of all, we were blessed to see Judy as mother and 'Mimi'. More than anything, Judy loved her family. So many of us will miss her.
- Wayne and Linda Southerland-Welch, Savannah, GA
My deepest condolences to all of the family! What an absolute ray of sunshine she was and we will miss her terribly! God Bless Judy

My family had the priviledge of growing up closely with the Rambo family. Through our years in Mayfair and Calvary, our families have always remained close. For most of those years, Cami was my best friend, and Mrs Rambo was one of many mom role models. It wasn't until my adult years that I truly felt she became a dear friend. Every time I was around her, she shared words of wisdom and encouragement for me and my two sons. She sold my house, found me a new house and offered up much advice on raising children as a single parent. I am blessed to have Cami as one of my dearest friends- but I am especially thankful for the friendship and love I developed for Judy as I grew into an adult.Tonight at the funeral home, it was very apparent to me that Judy touched many lives! I love you and I will miss you Judy.

Dear Ryon,Cami, Angi and family, My heart is sadden by the loss of my longtime friend Judy. We worked together on many projects with the Republican party and became very good friends. She was always kind, generous and always smiling. Over the years we spent many hours having dinner and conversations, solving all the worlds problems, and sharing stories of family and our dearly loved grandchildren. She was loved by all who knew her. I loved her and will miss her terribly. My prayers and condolences are with you all.

Dear grieving family, My wife and I are very sorry for your tremendous loss and would like to express our condolences to the entire family. We cannot imagine the great pain and sorrow you are experiencing during this most difficult time. When we lose someone we love so dearly, we are left with a very strong desire to see that person again. It's wonderful to know that Jehovah God has promised we will see our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 gives this wonderful reassurance: 'Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.' What a marvelous hope! Once again we wish to express our condolences to the family. And although we cannot erase the pain and sorrow you are feeling, it is our hope that this can give you a small measure of comfort.
