Dear Cynthia and all of Judi's family, and friends, and of course her dear Toby.
I can't even begin to express my condolences enough to all of you. She touched all of our lives in many different ways, and she will continue to do so. Look for that very large bright shining star in the sky!
I've worked with Judi closely the last few years as a consultant for missing pets as well as many of those she was working with in a healing capacity. Green and fresh out of the box...she never let me say "I can't". She just grabbed me and rocket launched me into a world I had just been getting my feet wet in. And I can hear her now telling me...what are ya doing, we've got missing furkids out there...and yes dear Judi, I'll put my energy there...as staring out the window wondering "why" isn't helping anyone, including me. I can't begin to thank you enough for all you have taught me, for our friendship that was more than a friendship, I know our spirits will always remain connected.
Judi loved her family, her sweetheart Toby, more than anything in the world. She will make sure that you all find peace with in yourselves in the coming days, weeks, months..so on.
For those of you she has taught or worked with in any way...Judi opened many unique doors for you to walk through...and she's going to expect you to take that leap of faith with the "I can do this" and march on through. She was a rare teacher and friend to many, we are all blessed to have had her presense in our lives.
I know Judi had a "crowd" there to take her safely home to the other side. Tender hugs and a circle of love and blessings to all of you who are right now saying, "My Judi...can't be gone... Look up..and find Judi's Star...her physical presense was huge, her spiritual presense is even larger.

I know that Judi loved the mountains, and it would be hard to imagine a nicer way to pass, or a prettier place to transition to pure positive energy.
Judi was a 'little' (pun intended) miracle to those who knew her. She always had a kind word and a laugh to brighten our days. I'm sure she will be an even brighter shining star now that she in the heavens.
Judi has been doing healing on my Bichon, Angel since last week. Angel has gotten much better in the past 3 days. I wonder if Judi is an even better healer from up above, I bet so, I can not argue with results. Angel had been waking up around 2am and pacing or running in the house for about 2 weeks until 3 days ago, when she started sleeping thru the nights again. I think Judi definately earned her money with Angel.
Cynthia, I did not know you, but I'm sure you are a very special lady to have been chosen to be in Judi's life. And yes, I do think she is still in your life. Prayers and Reiki are being sent to you and your family. Both from me and I know Judi is sending much love from above as well. I hope the poem below helps to ease your loss.
Judi will always be in our hearts, only a thought away.

Even as I write this, I think, Is this real? Is Judi really gone from this world? Our Judi? See, that's the thing about Judi - she was everyone's Judi because she helped so many people and so, so many animals. We felt that she was a part of our world, a part of our extended family, a distant rainbow that shined through the darkest clouds.
How could I have made it through these years without Judi translating the inner thoughts and motivations of my furry kids? How could I have located my missing animals, have known when to let them go, have recognized their souls when they returned in another form? If not for our Judi.
I owe her more than I can ever repay. But repay I will. By being that much kinder, that much more understanding, by stumbling through the door she opened for me and by remembering her always. Judi, I believe your work in heaven will dwarf your work down here. Thank you for being there for all of us, and for continuing to be our light in a dark sky.
Melinda Hicks & Family

Dear Frank (Judi's soulmate and the love of her life), Brandi (Judi's beautiful daughter) and Nathan (Judi's first grandson), Paul (Judi's gentle soul son) and Cynthia (Judi's warm and wonderful daughter-in-law) and Sam (Judi's first granddaughter) and William (Judi's baby grandson), and Toby (that cute little Maltese baby she kept out of her Little Bit's litter),
My heart breaks for you... I can feel the hole in your hearts left by Judi's physical passing from your lives. She was larger than life - loved by so many people, including me and she was the one person I completely trusted. She was there for me any time I called and helped me with my personal problems and my little furry friends. We cried together many times as family and friends (both human and furry) passed over. She helped me so much and I tried to help her when I could.
I remember some truly fun and funny times and a lot of heart warming ones, too. There was the trip a small group of us took to the NC mountains to hunt for rubies and garnets. I could have sworn I rubbed my fingerprints off in that cold mountain water going through those pails of wet dirt. But there was lots of laughter and Judi, bless her soul, found the biggest stone - a nice sized garnet! I ended up buying a Herkimer diamond to have something to show for all my efforts. I also remember a shopping trip that Frank, Judi and I went on in the mountains to buy gemstones for her jewelry business. Me, not being much of a shopper anyway, became tired of the whole scene after 30 minutes and probably showed it, but Frank was a true trooper. I mean how many similar rocks can you look at in one day?!!?!?! But Judi was determined to find the best for her customers - hour after hour... Every trip they made after that, Judi would laughingly tell me they were going to a show and ask if I wanted to come with them and I would yell "NOOOOOO!!!!", which seemed to totally amuse her as she would burst out laughing.
A number of years ago when my marriage failed, Judi sent me a chocolate voodoo doll to take out my frustrations. I called her immediately when I got it and we laughed hysterically. She asked me if there was anything left of it and I fiendishly laughed and said I was saving it for an emergency, but could she send me a case of them! That really got her going! I still have it for that same emergency. I remember her telling what is now my ex that she was angry with him for taking me away from her. I don't think she ever knew how wonderful that made me feel.
As you know, Judi had a love/hate relationship with South Carolina and missed her Oklahoma home. She often wondered aloud what the reason was that she was brought to SC. I always told her that it was me... that I had asked for her to come there. She told me a lot of people told her that. I always told her it was probably true for all of us. She was an answer to a lot of people's prayers.
I know my dear friend Judi isn't far away, but it tears my heart out that I can't send her an email anytime or call her anytime and get a reply. She has been a rock of strength and love in my life for 20 years. I remember her telling me of the grief and pain she felt losing close friends, and I never really understood until now.
So dear family and friends of Judi, please know that she is in my heart and mind and connected to my soul and I will always love her and you all and will pray for you. I'm sure Judi is among us now, probably rolling her eyes, but knowing and feeling our love and loss for her and hoping we heal from this soon.
With all my love and sympathy,

Dear Cynthia,
I wanted to you to read what Kerry Bryce wrote about your Mom. I also wanted to add a few comments myself. Your Mom touched so many both people and furbabies. I miss her so much.
I always will remember her as a friend even more than my animal communicator. We had so many wonderful conversations speaking of everything not just the animals. Not to take away from your loss which is so great as I lost my Mom in July of 2007, but I will miss her so very much. My Mom was bedridden for a year and a half. One day your Mom sent her healing thoughts, and she was actually able to get out of bed that day and look outside for the first time in months. Kerry Bryce (my dearest friend) introduced us in 2003 when I was blaming myself every day for the untimely passing of my cocker and mini-schnauzer. Judi was able to put my heart at peace about losing them. She also helped immensely with many of my foster mini-schnauzers and cockers as well as my five personal babies. I remember mostly two puppymill mini girls who came here wanting to die, literally. They are now well adjusted and living in great homes. I have had so many of both breeds who had been abused in some way or another who are happy as they can be now. One is my very own Darly Anna. She helped my Annie Ilsa get over her depression as well. This is just two of the many things she has done for my babies and myself.
In Memory of my friend, Judi, by Angela Guerry-Charters
The Rainbow Bridge and it's occupants rejoice with the addition of Judi, a great woman. She has been welcomed by all of the Angels whom she is now one of. She watches over everyone, those she had to leave behind. If I could pick one word to describe her, it would be love. We all mourn her, but she would never want that. She would want us to remember all the good and celebrate it. She touched so many people and animals alike. She is now with the loved ones whom she once lost awaiting a reunion with those she had to leave behind. I also await the day which I can meet her at The Bridge and know she is looking after the ones that I lost. We all will do everything we can to see our loved ones once again.
With My Deepest Sympathies,
Angela

I will say that the Bridge is a most joyful place today with Judi there; her dear friends who she has left behind will miss her more than she will ever know.
I first met Judi 7 years ago when I adopted Foxy from Friends of Cockers. Since that time she has helped me and my rescue any time we asked. Once I found her on line when Sandy went mysteriously missing, she told me that Sandy was sitting with her back to the water and next to her were very pretty flowers but that she was tired and would wait for me to come get her now. I immediately went to the end of our street and found Sandy sitting with her back to the lake, next to the neighbor’s row of azaleas. We became good, good friends after that and I trusted her completely. Recently we had been conversing regarding my new website 4abo.com and she was so highly supportive and urged me to continue my efforts. She was a wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and caring human.
I rejoice with the animals at the Bridge as I know they are thrilled to have Judi speaking to them in person today, for us……she will be greatly missed.

This is shocking and devastating news. I spoke with Judi just a few weeks ago and did not feel this coming at all. She was a great help to me over the years, both as a healer and as a friend, and I will miss her greatly. ~ Jodi Ross

Dear Cynthia, I am so sorry for your loss. Judi was a great and beautiful soul and will be missed by many. I thank God for her and the gift she gave to my family. Her light will forever shine in my heart.
Love from Dallas,
Anna (and Tinkerbell) Lawson

I am so sorry. She will be missed by all creatures - 2 legged and 4 legged.

Dear Cynthia, Please accept my sincere condolences. Judi is the reason I became an animal communicator -- she freely shared both her encouragement and her insights and was a true mentor. I was priviliged to have worked with her on several lost animal searches and I learned so much. She helped me immensely and I know so many other people & animals as well. She will be missed terribly, but will remain forever in our hearts. You and your family will be in my prayers,
Love & Light, Iva Kapetanovic

Dear Cynthia, I am devastated of this sad news. Judy belonged to the same animal healing group as I and we were now and then in touch. She was a powerful and wonderful being who will be missed by many, many animals and people. I am in my thoughts with you and the rest of her family. Love from Sweden.
Gunvor

Heaven is a better place to be this morning with Judi's bright and beautiful spirit in attendance, and all of us that loved her so are heartbroken. My thoughts and prayers go out to Judi's family as you deal with her loss. She will be greatly missed by all of us.
With Love and Light, Norma J. Fantaroni

What a tremendous loss to the animal world. she will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.

My sincere condolences.

I am shocked about the news of judi and will say prayers for her and your family who are all grieving so. I will miss her, I called her several times to talk to my loved pets, alive and gone over the rainbow bridge. She gave so much to so many people. Bless her. Stephanie Chiavaroli

i am so sorry about Judi. My deepest sympathy. I do believe not that it makes it any easier, that she was called for a greater good. She was needed somewhere else, maybe to help someone elsewhere that needed her true kindness.
Gina

Dear Cynthia, I am so sorry for your loss. Judi was a great help and comfort to me when she worked with my Sunshine last year around this time until Sunshine passed on Dec 27, 2007 after a two year fight againt lymphoma. Due to her healing, Sunshine, my 14 yr old cocker spaniel was able to have a few last good months. She then worked with Sunshine's sister Princess to support her in her loss and Princess continues to do well. I had actually went to my computer to make arrangements for Judi to talk with my foster pup who has some serious issues when I received your your e-mail. I had spoke with Judi a few months ago and it is just such a shock to hear she is gone.My prayers and love go out to you and your family.
Sincerely, Dot Baxter

Dear Cynthia,Im very sorry to hear about Judi, many people and animals will miss her deeply....I hope at least that her passing was peaceful and pain free.She is in my thoughts and prayers.
Jill

OMGoodness! I am so sorry and sad to hear this. She was a beautiful woman with so much kindness and love. There are not many "beautiful" people such as Judi. This really isn't the word I am looking for. Judi was just so wonderful! Please send my deepest and heartfelt sympathies to her family.
Nikki

Ms Cynthia, I am deeply heartbroken Judi is gone! I am still stunned. I cannot imagine managing all my kitties without her consultations. I feel so very lucky to have had her to help me for the past 3 years with my over 40 cat crew. She was such a blessing here on earth. She always told me incredible stories of other peoples' animal stories while consulting on my kitties' issues. Last year she told one of my cats not to be afraid of passing over and that it was nothing to fear because that kitty was concerned about where my Mother went. I am in California and will miss Judi very dearly especially when I touch each cat she dealt with for me. I remember every comment she made about, for and to each of my kitties. Thank you so much for putting up her close communicators as I will need them and wouldn't know who to trust. I hope Judi is there with you and your family for awhile. I hope you will keep the Animal Echoes website up in her memory. God Bless all who have been responding to your news. I appreciate being included to read the responses. ;(
