Today and always my gratitude for the role you’ve played in my life and so many others, I was lost, imprisoned literally and figuratively until something told me ‘there must be another way’. I would not have found it without the pivotal role you played in the development of the Course. And in later years I was again helped by your teachings and experience. An eternal thank you from one Child of God to another.
LOVE IS THE WAY I WALK IN GRATITUDE … YOUR LIFE, LOVE, GLOW, LIGHT, WISDOM, KINDNESS, GENEROSITY, GRACE, AND NATURALNESS ARE ALL JUST A FEW OF THE INFINITE ATTRIBUTES OF DIVINE LOVE YOU ABUNDANTLY AND CONTINUOUSLY EXPRESSED … THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING SO HAPPY AND BRIGHT AND LOVING AND GIVING … THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR LIFE OF SERVICE AND LOVE … I LOVE YOU AND APPRECIATE YOU AND THANK YOU … ALOHA
Dearest Judy.
Thank you for letting the Light in you shine so brightly.
You have been a Miracle to the World, a very beautiful flower in all ways.
Our meeting on that day in 2018, was nothing short of a Miracle. We both felt like old times friends’ re-union. The story is too long to be told here Your dear husband Whit had just passed on ,and with lots of humor you talked about him like he was in the next room. I have never forgotten the interesting incident you narrated to me of the Chaplain who entered the hospital room after Whit left his body , who joked that he was a Monk from Kenya! You brought the Course to the world and we in Kenya, East Africa join the rest of the world in saying :
ASANTE SANA.
Your voice radiates such a beautiful Peace and I will cherish our connection in the realm of pure Spirit. I feel even closer to you now, God Bless you x
Dear Judy,
Thank you for being such an inspirational guide and for bringing ACIM into the world as a mighty companion that will guide us Home…
Love…
Judith, your radiant Love effected me personally. I believe the best we can do is try to be a vessel for God, and Judith is such a great example of that. For all your service in Love, I truly thank you.
Just several days ago I watched the webinar on Love and Laughter in which Judy and Tamara shared about their grandmother and mother’s unconditional love. And today I learn that she passed away. As human condition, I feel a bit loss, even though the Course said the Son of God cannot suffer loss. Thank you Judy, thank you Helen, Bill and Kenneth for bringing the Course. It changed my life. I am now more loving, more forgiving and feel happy. Thank you.
Deep gratitude, love and respect for this extraordinary ‘ordinary’ woman and her indefatigable devotion to all her children, i.e. every single person she touched, directly or indirectly. I never knew her except through digital media but to me she was the very epitome of a mother figure and the perfect choice to midwife the Course into the world.
Dear Judy,
I first met you in 1986 through the book Journey Without Distance, and in my grateful mind you embodied courage and vision as you accepted your part in bringing this message of light to so many. Because my path to awakening has included the paranormal, I longed to have a chance to speak with you, and to light-heatedly laugh away the story. So I was ecstatic when we communicated recently, and were making plans to actually talk together on your podcast. But, alas, the script is written and it was not to be in this lifetime. So, I tell you now that I was so touched by your loving communication, although we had never actually met. As I’ve listened to your talks and colorful stories on You Tube, your humorous view of it all so fully captures the innocents of the Course when it tells us that our only mistake was that we forgot to remember to laugh! Thank you dear one, for making me laugh! You continue to bring joy to us all.
Thank you so much for all the lovely inspirations. Your warm and tangibly comprehensive being. What you are is not gone… Thank you Judy
Most of all, I loved her stories.
And now I delight in: “Where did Grandma go?”
What a tremendous honor it was to “meet” Judy and hear her speak via a Zoom meeting after studying A Course in Miracles myself, for over 30 years.

Godspeed! Your contribution to the healing of humanity is noticed. Love and Gratitude and best wishes for your next adventure in life after life. ❤️😊🌈👍Jen Quintana
I feel Judy’s love and presence in my heart. Thank you for honoring your life’s purpose and inspiring the light within in millions of people. I am so touched and so blessed to accept the gifts layed upon humanity by Judy’s magnificent Earth journey. I am new to Course of Miracles (lesson 212) but I feel as if I’ve known her for eons. The energy of sharing and publishing this work for others permeates vividly throughout the Foundation for Inner Peace. I know Judy is enjoying the soul retreat.
Thank you for sharing her departure journey, this is truly moving. No words can describe the fullness in my heart for this beautiful soul. Many blessings, much love to all the family and friends, near and far.
Thank you, Judy for offering all of us your hand so that we can walk in gratitude the way of Love in your precious company.
So sorry to learn of Judith’s passing. I only just became aware of this. I appreciated her reaching out to me and having an lovely phone conversation a few years back and admire her for her dedication to ACIM throughout her life. So sorry to see her go but fully believe we will all meet again. 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for all the love you gave us. I am so honored to have spent time with you and Whit. Peace, love, and happiness.
Thank you Judy – as I listened with keen interest to your stories of forgiveness on your talks and podcasts in the last few years it seemed to me that you wouldn’t be around physically telling these stories too much longer, so I listened and appreciated hearing them even more. I imagined that you wanted to fill in the gap that Ken left too before you left. and you did, and left us with so much. Now I will carry on and pass it on, the Love, In gratitude.
Thank you Judy for bringing the Course to everyone. It has been a mainstay for me and I am grateful for her work in having it published and then teaching it widely. Miracles and peace to her family and friends.
Judy I have never met you but I know you, your voice is like a shrine in my heart, I will always hear it.
I had a very surreal experience on the day when beloved Judy went home. Which I really wish to share, and thank you so much for creating this opportunity.
I was unable to sleep, and I did not why, (12 hrs difference in US and our time), So I decided to check my mail, and there were 3 mails from the desk of Judy, they were regarding webcast.
I also realised that Marianne Williamson was live on Instagram, which I found a bit early for her, as if on guidance I decided to listen to her, and she was informing us about Judy’s crossing over, she was in tears and so was I.
This made me realise that this was no ordinary happening, my one teacher was giving me information about my other teacher, as if I was ordained to hear the news from Marianne , and I genuinely felt Judy’s strong presence in my heart.
I am determined to spread the word of love in her honour I thank her for ACIM.
Judy I love you and I think I know you
much love

Thanks Judy for your enduring love and wonderful teachings. How lucky was I to be in your embrace since Tam introduced me to this extraordinary family so many years ago. What a beloved role model in this journey to love. Thanks to you and your loved ones fir this privilege. ❤️
From a ‘special’ to a Holy Relationship…”Thank you” Judy and Jerry for showing us all the way. The first moment we met, Judy, in 1982 you brought me close to you in a most loving embrace and said, “Thank God you are FINALLY here!” When you embarked on your journey into the Afterlife and arrived out of time, I imagine a glorious celebration to greet you with the words, “Thank God, Judy, you are finally here!” See you, my dearest Sister in the Light. Thank you
Thank you Judy. You leave your thoughts behind. Your shining, golden footsteps continue to lighten our way although you took the light with you. Where would we be without your obedience and commitment to Jesus and His Course?

Thank you Judy for your part in bringing the course in Miracles and through it Love and Joy into our home as I was growing up through your friendship with my parents.
I only knew Judith through my studies and daily practice of ACIM. Her radiance and authenticity become a symbol of a role model to me. Podcasts shed light onto the teachings and I am truly grateful for her devotion to Love. I started the course on January 15, 2012 and it has become my Holy path, my life way and companion. Blessings of Love and Peace to you Judith and to all who love you.
I first “discovered” Judith in the Course in Miracles movie – the pure light that she is was apparent even back then. She’s been an inspiration ever since, and will continue to be. Thank you Judith for helping “birth” this book to the world!
Although I never physically met Judy her messages always gave me another way to view myself in relation to the world we live in. God bless you Judy for all you have done and will continue to do.
When Judy and I first met in, I believe, 1986, our deep beyond-words connection was virtually immediate. It was my first ACIM mentor, Bill Thetford, who originally brought us together (my second mentor was Kenny Wapnick).
And although Judy and I visited only rarely after that first encounter at her and Whit’s home in Tiburon (although we peridicaly talked by phone and email), the connection we felt never faded. It still hasn’t. I feel Judy now as strongly as during her physical life. Even more so in this particular moment.
Judy was, and continues to be, one of the most remarkable souls I have had the privilege of enjoying time with. And of course her impact on the dissemination of The Course will remain everlasting.
Deep deep bow with much love and gratitude, Judy. May your adventure continue now in even more delicious ways. I will do my best to check in on you from time to time…
I loved listening to you Judas, you were clearly living a miraculous life! I look forward to seeing you soon…
Thank you for all the hard work and dedication to promoting ACIM throughout the years. You were truly a difference maker!
Dear One,
Thank you so much for your life’s work and your commitment and dedication to Love.
Because of your decision for God, many minds now heal as one.
Now your presence rests eternally in the hands of our Creator.
May your teachings of joy and peace continue to shine and transform our world.
With love and gratitude always.
Thank you teacher of God
For strengthening my hope
To wake up to what is forever
Here, Real and Good,
Weary of time’s game,
Joy and Glory
Is not a story.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to ACIM and to spreading the love of God. May your works continue from Heaven.
Thank you for all your help and contributions to this world. Thank you for all the Love you shared and spread throughout this world.
RIP truly.
Amada Judy :
Siempre tendré ennel corazón, los días en que viajé de México a USA para escuchar unas conferencias del Dr Wapnick, y allí estabas… Me dijiste, “Siempre muestra la verdad con respecto al Curso, nunca engañes a nadie que se acerque a tí pidiendo una clarificación de alguna de sus lecturas. El Curso dice exactamente lo que quiere decir, nunca interpongas entre el estudiante y tú, tus propias interpretaciones “, y mucho más todavía, pero este espacio es muy pequeño para decirlo todo. Siempre he agradecido a Helen, a Bill, a Kenneth su invaluable servicio para que todos ennel mundo tengamos disponible el Curso y este camino amoroso que recorremos con gratitud, ahora mi agradecimiento va dirigido a tí, la última de aquellos 4 fantásticos del Espíritu.
Gracias eternas y nos volveremos a ver. Mucha luz en tu viaje de regreso a Casa.
Peace and love to all in our celebration of Judy’s remarkable life. Our shared gratitude blesses us all, inspiring us to continue emulating Judy’s work for the Holy Spirit to heal what never was. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Judy!
I was guided to the Miracle Voices podcast just this past year. I listened to every previous post and eagerly awaited each new weekly posting. Although I never physically met Judith, I felt her spirit. Her contributions are immeasurable.
Dearest Judy, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you Beloved of God, for fulfilling your Mission here.
It touched me, a little Black Girl, from the Motor City, many years ago–it helped me survive!
Some forty-two years later, I still breath in hope because of “A Course In Miracles”. Thank you!
You gave us all so much. With your faithfulness and devotion you Mothered us into the Gates of Second Coming, of which we bow now with much gratitude.
Peace Be Unto You Dear Sister, We Love You, Thank you for your love.
And love last forever. Amen.
Thank you Judith, for leading me to my ultimate teacher. Your work in making available the Course brought me home. I finally found a place where I recognized Truth, Truth I have known all my life, and have searched for through many great religions and spiritual teachers. But here it was all together in one place, what I recognized as my heart’s song, and deepest expression of love. Now I know who I am, and what I have yet to do before I pass to Heaven. May you bring your love and joy to God and us as you add your creations to the Father and the Son, as you begin again your stay at home.
Love you Judith!
I really enjoyed all of your webinars, I learned a lot through your experiences with this course. I really gonna miss you in the illusory world, because in truth you are ONE with me and with all of US.
Thanks Judith for all your love!!!
Such a beautiful Light that graced the lives of so many…as Judith’s light shines forth so will she live & breath in the hearts that are so blessed to have been moved by her light…
Peace & Love
I’m a relative newbie to the Course and have found such delight and inspiration listening to the Miracle Voices podcast. Judy’s voice and stories have always pulled me in, opened my heart, and often made me laugh. I will miss her presence on future episodes (I hope Miracle Voices will continue) but am happy for her Homecoming. Thank you, Judy, for playing a part in my unfolding awakening. Love to you.
The Blissful charm Judy radiated was the direct result of her following, teaching and learning A Course In Miracles. She showed us in a practical way the flower hewn path the Course leads us on. I just had a very small encounter on a webinar with Judy and she had laughed so much. It was almost a year ago when I read a false news regarding her death and put it on Facebook. Later on in the webinar I had felt sorry for doing that without checking…Judy laughed so much and yes just like Bill Thetford, Judy’s voice was so soothing and so calm and listening to her removed all fatigue. She was a star who touched countless lives and showed us the practical results of studying the Course… the unique Joy and Bliss that radiated from her.
Thank you, Judy.
I somehow feel deeply connected with you and I am grateful.
Walking in love,
Terri Miles
Dear lovely Mother Judy, we love you now and forever!
Thank you for being a constant Light to your children.
🧡♥️🧡
Thank you for your service for the spirit. No contribution will ever be forgotten. Good to have you with me now all the time.
Thank you for everything you did to share ACIM’s liberating message. Well done, sister.
The Course has been a part of my life since I got sober 27 years ago. Thank you for the part that you played in my life
