"I remember Jude at high school when she was my big cousin and I was just a little 3rd former. We had lots of fun times, especially the South Island grand tour with a very leaky tent and her first car, a Ford Prefect without synchronised gears. There was one memorable heart stopping moment as she did a hill start (her first) at the Haast - had to have a cigarette, as did I!"

My memories of Judy are nearly 30 years old - but I remember her always baking something in her kitchen in South New Brighton and her infectious smile.

Jude lived life to the full.....

Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching. and live like it's heaven on earth.

Mark Twain

I will always remember Judy as being the lady with the big warm smile and an interesting (and usually true) story or two. I also admired her braveness at facing her journey through cancer. I hope she is in a happy place now.

Mum loved to have her foot scratched. I never understood this as a kid. Now as a mother of three very active kids ..... I too like a foot scratch at the end of any long day...
