Judith Anne was admitted to the hospital the day after Christmas having suffered a serious stroke....
Dear Chantillie,
You have my deepest sympathies to you and yours and all who loved Judith Anne, as we loved her here.
Judith Anne was a great defender of the Faith, and her chidings were always given in the spirit of fraternal correction.
What a great soul she is! As she passes into Eternal Life, the Angels and Saints will sing her praises.
And your Dad goes out to be the first to greet her in the Heavenly Kingdom, as the Lord says, in a booming voice, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
May her soul be bound in the bonds of eternity.
Prayers up. I have chatted with your mother at times.
I am so sorry for your loss. Heaven has received her soul with joy. May she RIP.
I am so sorry. Prayers up for you and your family.
May the Lord keep you in his bosum at this time of loss. Judith was a loving soul....She once said to me, ....we don’t agree on much but I still like you and your posts...She was a big hearted person...GG
I’m so very sorry for loss.
We are pilgrims in a strange land trying to make our way back home.
The remarkableness of the date is noted.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
Oh my. Rest in Peace, Judith Anne.
You have fought the good fight for the true faith.
I am sorry to read that the situation has been diagnosed at terminal, I know how hard it is to lose one’s parents.
But your mother is journeying to a far, far better place. She will be held tenderly in the Everlasting Arms of the Most Holy God, sing praises to Him and wait to see you and all your family once again. Praise God in all His most wonderful love and mercy to His people.
Take care family of Judith Anne.
I am deeply sorry for your loss and ours as well. I will miss her.
May God hold all of you in His hand.
Dear Lord let your servant Judith Anne live long enough to receive her final visit from her family then take her into your arms for forever. Amen.
Chantillie, although I’ve been a member of FR almost from the beginning, I didn’t have the pleasure of “meeting” your mom here. Still, my heart goes out to you and your family at this heartbreaking time. I’m glad you have such a strong faith, because it will sustain you. Whatever life is all about, whatever its mysteries and ultimate resolution, one thing I know for certain. Love never dies. Our bodies do, but our love continues for as long as time, itself, continues. Our loved ones are still with us — and we with them — even beyond death. Take heart in your faith and in the certain knowledge that your mom and dad still love you and are not really far away.
You and your family will be in my prayers. May God comfort you and give you strength during this difficult time.
Annie,
you and your mom are in my prayers. She was one of my favorite people here, and it was always a pleasure for me to hear from her. I’d been praying for her, and will continue to pray for the repose of her soul. Thank you for sharing this with us. You have my most sincere condolences.
Dave
FR is a blessed place, with all those Freepers up there praying for us.
May the Lord hold Judith Anne in the palm of His hand, and give your family comfort.
Amen.

O Lord,
Sprinkle the dew of your mercy on the body of your departed servant, Judith Anne
who was united to you in Baptism,
has been anointed with your Holy Oil,
and has consumed your Sacred Body and Blood,
as food for her journey to eternal life.
She has died hoping in You + Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
one God forever.
Amen
(from Maronite prayers for the dead)
May angels commend Judith Anne’s spirit swiftly to the Heavenly realm and be with you and your family to comfort you, Chantillie.
Your mother I remember as a strong, courageous defender of the Faith and a beautifully honest human being.
Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night...
I’m sorry for this. I’ll keep her and your family in prayer. Thank you for taking the time to tell us these things.
May it be a sombre reminder to us all to check our words to each other,none of us know when they may be our last.
May God grant you and your family the peace that passes all understanding in this hour....."when we've been here ten thousand years,bright shining as the sun,there'll be no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun"
Goodbye JudithAnne,untill we meet again.
