  13. Judith you will be missed by so many, you fought a brave battle, may you be pain free and at peace now. I will have lots of lovely memories, one I will always remember and laugh at, was one Halloween when H and I decorated the house. Judith you told us if only Jody could see her house now, she would go mental!!!. Good job she was away for a week, took us nearly a week to get it all down…… H and I thought it looked fab!!
    My thought are with all your family and I’m sure you will still be watching over them, now go spread your wings from above x

  21. To Jody and Chris and all of Judy’s family, I am sending you so much love at this difficult time. Judy welcomed me into the Safeway Blandford family 20 years ago and I will be forever grateful for her help, guidance and friendship over all these years. We drifted apart but thanks to social media we stayed up to date and often chatted random nonsense. Take care all and I hope all goes smoothly for you on the 8th. Sophie xxx
