Morse Bluff, NE Wednesday, April 6, 2011 We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers during your time of need. The last time I seen Judy was in 2002 when I purchased trees from her son. He drove me over to her house as she was just returning home from a short stay in Fremont. I said hello and asked if she remember me? Ha she smiled and said " I remember all the bad kids Jim" RIP JUDY!Jim Lewis

Lincoln, Ne Monday, April 4, 2011 Sept. 1948 was when I first met Judy, while attending Midland College. I went on to teach country school. Judy married a neighbor and lived on top of the hill and I lived on the same highway but at the bottom area. My parents were Harvey and Erna vonSeggern. Many, many memories from long ago. Drove by her place many times while traveling up the road to Hooper and Scribner. Many memories from long ago. Memories are wonderful things and I'm sure her family has many.Janice (Zakovec) Leffers

Hugo, OK Saturday, April 2, 2011 Am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Many times on the way home from Rosedale School Dist #65 I would be asked by the boys if I could stop and play for awhile. Judy would call Grandma to find out if it was ok. We just lived across the field from each other and most times I walked across those fields to and from school. When I started JR High, Judy was my PE teacher, and without thinking I called her "Judy". She took me aside and in a very nice way explained why I should call her "Mrs" at school. She was one awesome lady and remember her always smiling. May the Lord give you Peace and Comfort. God Bless Caroline "Christensen" Hargrove
