GUEST BOOK

I just found out about Judy's passing tonight and was very sadden to read about it. I used to work with her at the Writing Center at Armstrong. The entire staff there loved her and looked to her as a second mother. She always had a smile to her face. My life is better because of the touch she had on it.

Judy was a lady of grace, kindness, and intelligence. It was a privilege to work with her in the tourism industry. She set the bar high for professionalism and will be missed by all who knew her.

Although I knew Judy for only a short time, her impact on my life was great. Her positive attitude in the face of so many obstacles gave me hope to face whatever this life brings. She is rejoicing with the angels in heaven and in pain no more. God bless you, Judy. You will be greatly missed.

Judy was a lovely lady, a wonderful neighbor. Judy was incredibly brave throughout the ordeal that she faced at the end. She was someone we all looked up to and admired. Thank you Judy for crossing our paths and being a part of our lives.

Judy was a wonderful neighbor, student, and friend. She took my global civilization class the first semester she came back to school at Armstrong to get her B.A. Although she was quite nervous, she achieved the highest grade in the class. She was an inspiration to the young students and served them in the university's writing center. Judy was a remarkable woman and I will miss her. Michael Hall AASU Department of History

Although I didn't know Mrs. McDaniel, her daughter Sheryl shared stories of love, compassion, and hope with me as she helped care for her mother. I know every member of her family will miss her. To each of her children, I feel your grief. My mother died in June 2008. My Grandmother, still alive at the time, lost her only child. My sister, brother, and I lost a mother, mentor, and friend. I think of my mother often, as you will too. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
