I miss Judy very much. My last memory of her was playing cards with me, Janice, and Bonnie. She put Bonnie in his place. Yes! To John: You and Judy had a beautiful family together, and she will always be remembered by the Thurstons and Edwards, and many more. What a wonderful person Judy was. To Jenny and Johnny: Losing a mother is a horrible thing, especially one so young. Please know that I will always be available if you need anything. Take care of your dad, but take care of yourselves as well. To Tim and Cat: You lost a wonderful mother-in-law. Take care of her special children, who are now in your hands.

Wow there are so many words to describe Judy Thurston. She was a fighter, and an amazing lady. I thought it was so cool that she had the same name as my Aunt Judy Koehne. Judy you will be missed. Rest in peace. Thorro and Joanie Jones
