Um, Judy are you still here? Did someone hack your Facebook page?

Judy's status on Facebook is that Judy Nebergal passed away at 7:3? on Saturday, March 20th. She will be missed.

I'm not sure if this is really true, or if someone has hacked her FB page. It seems weird that it was HER status that said this and not a message on her wall.

Does anyone know?

I haven't been on in a while and I was just checking in. I'm shocked. Judy's posts were always helpful and supportive. I'm so sorry for Dena and her family's loss.

I don't know what to say. My deepest condolences to Judy's family. I haven't been here in a long time and thought I would stop by to read today and saw this.

Judy had sent me emails from time to time. I had absolutely no idea about this. She certainly was a very, VERY sweet lady. Such a thoughtful and considerate person. She was always eager to reach out in friendship and yes, I totally agree that she was an inspiration to so many.

I am so sorry to read this. I don't post very often, but Dena, your Mom was such an encouragement to me. I will miss her.

Dena,

I am terribly sorry for your loss. I will miss Judy so much as a cyber friend. She had a wonderfully open, honest, kind straightforward was of sharing what was on her mind.

She talked about you so often here. Her love for you was limitless. I will pray for your comfort as you walk through the next weeks and months.

Best,
Sandy

Thanks to everyone who has posted here. I am going to print it out and show the whole family how much she was involved here. Thanks again. I should be back checking back on here periodically and I will try to send pictures If I can think about it. I have been holding up well, but I must say I broke down a little reading all the great things y'all had to say. It just doesn't seem real yet.

thanks again,
Dena

Dena,

I'll also add that your mom was soooooo proud of you and loved you so much. You always seemed more like girl friends than mom & daughter. I'm so sorry for your shock and grief.

Judy was also incredibly patient. I remember her being THRILLED to be able to walk to the end of the driveway and back. Most of us would have been whining and frustrated with such "slow" progress. Your mom really did take KD's "baby step" philosophy to heart and was delighted with every little baby step she accomplished.

She really pushed herself and accomplished a LOT, health wise. She was thrilled with every pound lost and every time her fat percentage went down. She was thrilled with every time she could walk 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile or a whole mile.

Judy also pushed herself to learn new things, and I'll miss her posts of photos of your family reunions and Native American Pow Wows and photos of drives to Alabama and other activities that she enjoyed. We got to know her and your whole family from her vivid descriptions and beautiful photographs.

When she couldn't get out much... she created an online communities for herself. (Wasn't she also active on Alton Brown's online fan club?)

And while I didn't usually reply to them, I'll also miss your mom's sense of humor and posts of jokes or funny stories.

Her "mom" screen name sort of made us feel like she was the board mom and we'll all miss her.

I wish that I could come to the service. I'm sure it will be a beautiful service.

Sending you and your family lots of hugs.

A memory of Judy came to me as I was reading the lovely sentiments here.

We used to do Monday night FLYchats some years back...did them for about a year, I think. I was the coordinator for the Monday night FLYchats, and sometimes I got frustrated that some Mondays, there would be a half dozen people or more participating and others, there would be almost nobody. But Judy was always there. And if she couldn't be, she sometimes asked Dena to log on AIM and let me know.

Also, sometimes I'd post on the board for FLY support when I had company coming or something...i.e., someone to FLY with me so I could get all my cleaning done...and Judy would be there for me...even if, by her own admission, she never left the computer for most of the FLYs, but she would be there because I needed someone.

That's the kind of person she was...and that, in part, is why we will all miss her so much.

Dena,

Your mom was so generous with all of us, we will return the favor to you. You can come here at any time and "talk" to any of us. We loved your mom and subsequently you. My number is in your mom's phone and my e-mail address is on her computer if you need someone to spout to or about - feel free to cal, write - whatever.

Our prayers, hugs and love are with you, your aunt, and your grandparents.

I wish I could be there. Your mom and I always plotted to meet. I guess it will be in the next life.

Love,
Linda

Dena, I can only echo what everyone else has said. Your mom was really part of our online family, and we will miss her greatly.

I'd like to echo Laura in saying that we would love to keep in touch with you and offer you whatever support we can.

I can't improve upon what everybody has said about your mom, Dena. I too will miss your mom greatly.

Please know that we'd all love to see you here from time to time and be able to support you, as well. I think it's the least I could offer to do in return for all your mom's support for me over the years.

Laura

dena, as much as judy wrote about you, we feel you are part of the board family also. your mom will be truly missed. i loved her wit and her quips, and her softness. she exuded kindness.

Dena -

I so wish I lived closer to you to be able to attend the services. I will echo what everyone has said - I will miss your mom greatly. She's been a part of my life for years now and the board will not be the same without her. She was such an open and supportive person to all.

She talked about you all the time and it was evident from everything from her sign in name to the updates she gave us, how incredibly proud she was of you.

I'm holding you and your family near to my heart in my prayers daily.

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.

Hugs,
Brie

Dena, if you're reading, please know how sorry I am. Your mother will truly be missed here.

I'm sure you know this, but I also wanted to tell you that you were truly the light of your mother's eye. She was so very proud of you, and she talked about you here so much.

Dawn

Dena,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Judy was so much a part of this board and it's hard to grasp what has happened. She was a very special person.

Dena, if you read this, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was an integral and welcome member here. Judy always posted such positive ideas here. I always enjoyed reading her posts about square dancing and her love of life. I can't begin to express my sadness over her passing. It's really amazing how you can "know" someone over the internet. I never met Judy in person but feel like I have. I again am so sorry for your loss. Your mother made quite an impact on all of us here at CT (sorry I am speaking for us all but I think you'll all agree). Judy has been with us for many years-her posts of overcoming cancer, her posts of dealing with the death of her husband, her posts of handling elderly parents. Dena and family-please know that Judy was special to us here. It was quite a shock to all of us, as I'm sure it was to you and your family to learn of her passing. May God bless you and your family during such a difficult time.

Jill

Dena: Thanks for checking in with us. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

This is Dena. I was hoping this would sign in automatically so I wouldn't have to figure it out. I can say it is true. I think we are holding up as well as expected. We're all still in shock. This was TOTALLY unexpected. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and she'll be there.

For anyone that would like the information, we wil be having a visitation on thursday, the funeral service on friday and the burial on saturday. The Visitation and Service will be here in Atlanta but she is being buried in Arab, AL. If anyone can make it, I can give you further details.

I know she cherished everyone of you guys and really thought of you as dear friends even though she had never met many of you.

We have met KD several times but nothing recently. If someone can get the news to her I would appreciate it.

Thanks and I'll check on here in the morning.

Dena

I am so sorry and at a loss for words at this sad time. Judy was a MVP when it came to this board and she will be greatly missed.

Has anyone emailed KD? I don't know how often she checks the boards, but I think she met Judy at least once and would probably want to know.

Done but I don't know how frequently she checks that address.

Added: I just got an out of office reply from the address I have.
