I can only imagine how you felt in the hospital. I'm sorry we weren't there. But I know you didn't want us seeing you suffer. I'm so sorry for all you endured. I love you so much. You are our flower. 🌹💖💝💖 thank you for everything mom. You're the best! 😘😘😘😘😘😘

Not a day or a time has went by that I haven't missed you. It still seems unreal and it's almost been a year. Our birthdays, the holidays and your birthday and you and dads wedding Anniversary all have been tough days. I love and miss you so much. Chunk does too. He still looks for you and cries out to you. He looks in your room and everything. The only way I'm ok is knowing you're no longer suffering. I can onl

Love and miss you more than I ever thought possible.
It's been a month already. It still doesn't seem real. I love you and miss you so much. 💫❤️🌹❤️💫😢

My deepest sympathy to the family of Judy Wilkins. Judy and I were friends since grade school. Even after graduation from Lincoln, we kept in touch via hand written letters. Those were the days! Sad to say, as years went by we lost touch, but I will always remember how kind and caring she was. She was soft spoken and I always loved to listen to her read aloud in school. She had the most soothing voice. Till we meet again...

When I tried to look up Judy on classmates.com, it showed that she was "missing". I went to junior high and high school with her. She even signed my year book, " Friends forever". Our classmates of 1968 were planning a group 70th birthday party in August. It saddens my heart that I won't be able to see my childhood friend again.
Hopefully, we'll meet again in Heaven. We should have a lot to talk about.
I'm so thankful that I was able to spend time you that last week. You would try to be so strong but, I saw through it. When you realized that I did, you finally told me your concerns, the things that were troubling you. Every thing was about your "Bad Butt Babies" but you called them your little girls. I hadn't heard you call them that before. I promised that Max and I would always be there for them. When LaVonne let you know all the things that they had accomplished that day, you were really at peace, for the first time ever, I looked at you and all I could think was that you were at peace. You were so surprised at what they had done, telling you how smart and grown they were wasn't enough, you had to realize it on your own. You did a great job, I know you never thought so but, I'm thankful that at the end, you were able to see that. You finished your race, I think you earned your rest and I can hardly wait to see y'all again. I'll cherish those last few days forever, thank GOD I could be there. I miss you and I love you, 'til we meet again sis....
To the Family of Judy Wilkins, my deepest and sincerest condolences to you all.
I was stunned to learn of Judy’s death late yesterday, June 28, 2020. I began working at the Reference desk at Tacoma Public Library’s Main location more than 30 years ago. But I still remember Judy Wilkins because of her poise, professional manner and smile.
Regardless of the questions directed at Quick Information and Reference, which came fast and furious, she handled them all with patience, a sense of humor and a continued willingness to provide the best public service possible. I was able to communicate with her briefly but often because of the close association between our two departments. She was very knowledgeable, helpful and always considerate toward patrons as well as other library employees. It was truly a pleasure to have known Judy for the three years that I worked in the Tacoma Public Library system.
