Our prayers go out to Judy & Phil’s children, grandchildren and extended family.  Judy and her family came into our lives in 1976 when we first moved to Lancaster County and Judy became our "sitter" for our then 4 yr. daughter, Jennifer.  In no time at all, Jennifer was one of "her" kids.  She always considered them her second family.  My husband and Phil became "corvette" buddies.  Our lives were truly blest for having known and been friends of the Holsingers.  God Bless.

Dear Shari and Family,

Thinking of you and your family at this most difficult time.  May you find comfort in sharing your memories of your Mom.  Shari, just knowing you, I knew your Mom had to be the most wonderful, loving, caring person.  My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.  My deepest sympathy.

Love, 
Jane Beaulieu

Judy was such a lovely friend and neighbor. Gary and I will miss her dearly. Our hearts and prayers go out to her children and grandchildren.  We know now that she is in heaven with her dear husband Phil.

We will miss seeing her do her garden work; watching her watch her grandchildren swim in her pool.  Even our dog will miss her as she always gave him treats when he went over in her yard to say hello.

Sincerely,
JoAnne and Gary Fuhrman

Steve, Staci & Shari,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!  May God’s peace and grace surround you and your families.  Lots of love as we remember, honor and celebrate Aunt Judy’s life.

Judy was a beloved caregiver to my daughter (now eighteen years old).  Judy took care of her at the F&M daycare center when my daughter was a baby.  In fact, Judy also took care of new mothers (like myself) as well, with her sunny outlook and her words of wisdom and encouragement.  We will always remember her patience, care, and kindness.  She gave my daughter a little book (we still have it) that became a real favorite when she was learning to count.  We also still have the "book" that Judy put together when my daughter "graduated" from the baby room – thank you, Judy.  It was lovely.  My family and I send our condolences to all her family and friends.  She was a gem.

I am so very sorry for the loss of such a beautiful soul whose genuine warmth and gentleness shined through those beautiful eyes of hers. Her smile brought sweetness to your heart. Her legacy will go on through her children and grandchildren as well as through the lives of those she touched.   God bless all of you.  My prayers are with you.  Our loss is heaven’s gain.  God has welcomed an earthly angel.
Love,
Julie Brown

Shari & Family and Steve and Family

I am so sorry to hear of Judy’s passing.  She a good friend and so was your dad.  She was always a cheerful person when I was around her.  I am glad that I made it at the end of last year to see her and she seemed to be doing so well then and I was hoping for the best for her.  All of the Holsinger family has my sympathy and I know it is going to be very hard without her. 

Love,
Barbara (Maher) Durick
