Jude & I were great friends. We met & worked together in a company called OCDA initially at Horspath Road and then on to Kidlington. Although we then went separate work ways we still stayed in touch and became the best of friends. We kept in good contact by phone, email & text and she often came and stayed with me. We had such great fun together and laughed about so many things. I miss her terribly and can't believe she's gone. I was watching TV and there was a suet recipe - I started to text Jude and it hit me that she wasn't ever going to text me back again. I think about all that she did for her mum which was very hard for her at times. But Jude kept on going like she always did with her head held high. She turned her negatives into positives and made her life experiences useful for everyone. If I ever needed anything then either Jude would know what to do or she would know someone who could help out. She was the kindest, funniest, bravest and most determined person I will ever know and I still cry when I think about her. I was once told that God takes the good ones and she was one of the best! I love and miss you Jude x
