On behalf of my family, and with unbelievable grief, we want to let you know our much loved mom, Judy Stuart, passed away tonight at Hoag Hospital. She was surrounded by family and a few friends and went peacefully. We will let you know details about a memorial once we are able to wrap our heads around this great tragedy. Please keep my Dad, sisters and our husbands and all mom's grandkids in your prayers."
