I will miss your prayers on fb, as I looked forward to them every day. I will always remember our lunch visit when you came to Clovis. We were having a wonderful time talking about the Lord and Life, and Friends. You really did touch lives on fb Judy, and I was one of them. This is only goodbye until I see you again my sweet girfriend...

I a�� u Aunt Judy! I will miss you very much! You were always one of my most favorite aunts growing up! I know you are pain free and in heaven now, but that doesn't take away the hurt I have in my heart. I know I have another great guardian angel now though. Please watch over the rest of us here on Earth until we meet with you again.
 Dance with your daddy Aunt Judy and please tell Grandma and Grandpa Parsons I miss them as well and give them a big hug for me. 
 I know we will see each other again some day, but it won't be soon enough to give you a big hug. So, I will hold on to the ones I just got a few short weeks ago at my sister's wedding where we all got to see you that one last time enjoying yourself in the midst of all our family celebrating. 
 I a�� u and I will miss you very much. ~Your Niece, Natasha.

We were friends as we grew up in the same neighborhood. I rediscovered her mother after 40 some odd years and Rena and I are now best friends. Jusy was a woman of deep faith and there is no doubt she is in heaven. Her death is mourned by many. My condolences to her family.

With the Love, Honor and The Grace of a Woman, Judy lived a Life filled with Jesus, Family and friends. All who met her loved her right back. She has touched so many lives in her short time here on earth and her legacy will live on forever in family, all the grandbabies and her many many friends. She will be thought of each and every day and remembered as lovingly as she gave to others. I feel blessed to have known this amazing woman. Judy and her family will always hold a special place in my heart. May Peace and Comfort follow the family in the days to come.

Judy, you will be dearly missed! The first time I met you in 2006 when I joined BeautiControl I knew you were such an amazing person and I'm so thankful I got to know you. Even though we didn't talk much but, when I was around you at Dallas for Celebration and of course our monthly meetings you were so entertaining and full of life. Just so much fun to be around. I was also happy when I needed product you had it either for me to get from you or borrow. You were such a great role model for anyone. I'm so grateful to call you a friend. Love you Judy!!!!

A shining joyous helpful and fun spirit is how I remember Judy. From Softball Games at Steelcase, to Party-Lite Celebrations that were more of a Banquet than a Booking! Lunches to catch up at the Holiday & her spoiling my staff with her Burritos. Always willing to do whatever she could for anyone at any time and the Best kind of friend there could ever be. How lucky I am that you touched my path Judy. You will be missed, but also remembered with a smile that matches each memory. Love to Bill, Keira, Kendra, Keirtson & to all who have a liitle piece of their heart missing. a��a��a��

Today we say our final goodbyes to an amazing lady, Judy Martinez Zaagsma. For at least 5 years she has been my "Spa Lady" helping me and my friends in relaxing girls nights and for the last year has become a great friend. Judy was in pain and found a healer last September that made her feel better then she had in years. She started then coming to me ever other week, through sickness, snow, rain and even days off of school with a home full of kids to get her deep tissue massage. Those days were as much for me, getting someone to talk to, as they were for her. I am so glad that I was able to help her manage to regain her arm movement in the beginning and her pain management near the end. Judy you always managed to brighten my day and you will be truly missed and always a place in my heart. Goodbye dear friend . . .

Dearest Family:
 Joerg and I were shocked and DEEPLY SADDENED by the news of Judy's passing. She touched our lives in indescribable ways- at times when you did not even know it until later. Her constant faith in God, mankind and her nurturing ways will be missed and our prayers go out to Bill, Keira, Kendra, Kierston and their families and Judy's Mom and Brothers-Sister's!
 We were honored she included us in her life and honored to call her family! Memories of holiday's - "Mexican Breakfasts", family coming over, weddings---all will be MISSED- we tried to get back to Michigan but we were unable too. We are sorry. However, we will soon get to Michigan and when we do- we will be there for whatever you need. Although we are out of State- please call or email if we can help- (Keira has our number).
 Until then prayers and love that in time, your hearts will be less heavy!
 Love to all, Becky and Joerg

There are so many words that could decribe Judy but passionate is what I think of when I think of Judy. She was passionate about food, family, her job and espcially about helping others. She spoke her mind but always with love:) Prayers for peace and comfort for her family and all who loved her~ 

 Posted by Pam Driesenga November 23, 2012

I was so saddened to hear of Judy's passing. I knew Judy going back all the way to grade school. We were neighbors and were with each other daily. I lost touch with her after high school and made contact with her on FB. Her daily posts were so inspiring, I will miss them and her. May God hold all her family in the palm of His hand and give you all comfort, peace and joy through the loss of such a wonderful person. I will continue to lift you up in prayer the way she used to lift us up in prayer. God bless you all.

Hi Patsy , Rene, and James, we are thinking of you guys at such a sad time, please accept our condolences from Vicki, Joe, and all the Rubalcabas. You are so much like our own family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at such a sad time. We will pray for Judy's spirit that she is not suffering anymore.

I was sadden when I opened the Clovis News Journal today to find that Judy had passed. My sincere condolences to all her family and loved ones. I was a brides maid in Judy's wedding and had not seen her since then. I pray that God brings you all comfort and peace in knowing that she is with Him. If anyone can possibly copy a picture of the wedding and email or mail to me, it would be a wonderful memory for me to keep. Unfortunately, I have no pictures of the wedding. Once again, I am truly sorry for your loss.

I met Judy about 10 years ago at a Beauticontrol spa. We have had several spas together and I have purchased from her for several years later and then we connected on facebook and her posts were always so inspiring and I loved that she shared her faith to many via facebook! Judy was a loving woman who loved her family and spoke of them frequently! I will surely miss her here but look forward to seeing her again in heaven! My thoughts and prayers will be with Bill and the rest of her precious family! 

 Posted by Alicia Keur - Grand Rapids, MI December 04, 2012

I am praying for your family. I met her at the post office in Byron Center & always looked forward to her smile & fun chats. She was a wonderful woman who I know was a fantastic grandma & mother. She was always so very proud & always talked about her grandchildren. Your family is in my thoughts & prayers. I will miss her. I know she is watching over you in the heavens above.
