Dear Mrs. Jud, Bob, Karen, Linda and Families,
Our condolences go out to you and your family. I have so many fond memories of Mr. Jud and the family when we shared friendship during our high school years. I am sure I drove him crazy with our Volkswagen escapades and my lack of mechanical ability but He never complained. I always had the utmost respect for him and Mrs. Jud and thank them for some interesting years during high school.
Rest Easy Mr. Jud (Karl). May the Peace of The Lord be with you all.

My condolences to the Jud family. My thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
