“I’m fortunate that I have been able to write my own obituary. Please don’t be sad for me. I’m walking in God’s eternal light. I love anything sparkly, so I’m sure that my wings (which I believe they have been working on for over four years) are absolutely gorgeous. I tell you not to be sad for me because I had time to prepare. I have had the pleasure of traveling to some stunning places in the beautiful world, my favorite being Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and for that, I’m truly blessed. I would rather be on a beach than anywhere. My second favorite pastime is sitting on my country porch, with my beagle Tracker and my family by my side, wasting away a hot summer day with my ice water. I met the love of my life in 1981 and never looked back. Mark was and is my life! We were married on August 30, 1986. God blessed us with a beautiful daughter, Alyssa Lemley Hoge and son-in-law Johnathan, and out of this union the littlest love of my life, my granddaughter, Harper Renesmee Hoge. My husband is a very private person – if you see him out and about, just smile. I want to ease his suffering as much as possible. I’ll see you on the other side.
All of my love, Judi.”
Also surviving are a brother, Bradley S. Guritza and wife Valerie of Cheyenne, Wyo.; a niece, Ashley Guritza and husband James of Cheyenne; and two nephews, Austin Guritza of Cheyenne and Andrew Guritza of Salt Lake City, Utah.
