Sympathy to Christoper and family. Judy was such a sweet, caring lady with a good sense of humor. It was a pleasure visiting with her.
Her smile just added joy to your day.
You are missed my friend.
Prayers for peace and comfort to you Christopher.
Dear Sweet Chris,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Jim and Judy were such special people to us all at Moore County Schools, just as you are. They were both so kind hear
Chris, I didn’t get to finish my message.
so kind hearted and loving. I will be thinking of you in the days ahead and always here for you.
Peace and Love, Cat
We’re so sorry to hear of the passing of Judy. Chris, we have many fond memories of your parents and loved them both so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family. May God continue to comfort you.
Mrs. Phillips was my 5th grade teacher! My best memory though is that many years later, she sat in on an interview with me that would ultimately lead to me replacing her when she retired and me teaching in the same classroom where she had taught me. After she retired, she still worked some at the school and we had many more conversations where she continued to teach me so many things from her experience. Once a teacher, always a teacher. I’m so sad to see she has left us but know she is in heaven, still teaching!
Christopher
I am so sorry about your Mom. May the Lord wrap you in his arms and provide mercy and peace in the moments you need Him. My prayers for you and all your family.
Christopher, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I have a lot of fond memories of her at HF.
It was a pleasure working with Judy at HighFalls as her Assistant. She was a Great teacher !! Christopher my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family she spoke of you so very often. She will truly be missed.
So sorry for your loss. She was such a precious friend to my mom and dad when my daddy passed away, was so much comfort for them both. Love and prayers to her family and friends.
Chris, I am grieved for you in the loss of your mom. She and your dad were always so kind and encouraging. May God cradle you in His loving arms in your grief and in the days to come. Love ya man. Bruce and Kim Williams

Christopher, I just found out tonight about your Mom’s passing and am so very sorry to hear this, just as I was to hear about your Dad. I’ve always kept a special place in my heart for you and your parents despite having not kept up with the three of you over the past years which of course makes me very sad. So many happy memories of Jim, Judy and you; just too many to count. Both of your parents were wonderful people and I know that they raised an equally wonderful young man. If there is anything I can do for you please don’t hesitate to ask. Love you
Sharon
Chris, we were sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. We will keep you and your family
