Condolence: Dear Chyvonne
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a great person with a big heart. We would sit and talk most lunch hours, with you being the main topic. Your Mom was very proud of you, and she would always say how great a daughter you were. She will be greatly missed, and once again please accept my condolences.
Take care, Marilyn

Condolence: To the family,
I was saddened to learn of Judy's passing. Please accept my sympathy and know that my thoughts are with you.
Judy and I went to high school together. We are the same age. I have not seen Judy since high school (30+ years) but I remember her as down-to-earth, happy, with a great smile. Nice hair too. (I had a schoolboy crush on Judy but I was shy and I'm sure she never knew).

I wish you peace and strength to see you through this day and all the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Glenn Campbell

Condolence: Dear Chyvonne and family,
It is with deepest regret by which I express my own condonences to you. I worked with your Mom for the first five years of my career with CDSPI and I had spent many lunch hours with her eating red licorice and giggling about our lives. I was thinking of her just about a week ago and had intended to call Ruby at CDSPI to see if I could acquire her e-mail address or phone number because it had been a while since we had spoken. Judy had taught me many things like; "don't wait for happiness..." in the way she left CDSPI and sold her Condo (dealing with the flood; carpets, cupboards, Insurance people and Condo Committees)then moving back to Lindsay to be with her family, which she was so eager to do... a testiment that timing is important and that waiting is only a state of mind!!! A few months later, I followed her lead and left CDSPI myself because I recognized her strength and I knew that I had it in me as well.
I suppose we all have greiving to to as it relates to Judy...which is what I suppose I am now doing as I compose this.
I had gone out to dinner with your mom last year and considered her a friend of mine...we shared a lot of personal information.
The single regret I carry regarding Judy; that I had not contacted her when I thought to. I guess that is a lesson she was able to teach me; she said, "Don't wait" and I didn't listen. Instead of feeling terrible about this, I can choose to change the speed by which I "act" in my life, and to thank and dedicate that change in my life to your Mom; representing the promptness by which I am available for others.
I contacted Lanny Smith as I am sure she would have wanted, another of her friends from CDSPI and I have no idea how to locate Barry White.
I am shocked and very sorry in myself.
I would ask that when you feel you are ready, I would greatly appreciate it if you would contact me so that we could perhaps get together to share stories about that wonderful person, Judy Rafferty.
Sincerely,
Paul Poulin (416)343-9333
