Judy Lawrence Lamb is a woman whose life has been defined by generosity, resilience, and quiet strength. At 75 years old, she continues to embody what it means to care deeply for others, often placing their needs before her own without hesitation or expectation of recognition. For decades, Judy has been the kind of person people turn to in times of need. Whether it’s offering a warm meal, a listening ear, or simply her steady presence, she has given endlessly of herself. Her kindness is not loud or showy—it is consistent, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in who she is. Family, friends, and even acquaintances have felt the comfort of her compassion.

Recently, Judy experienced the profound loss of her husband, William, with whom she shared memories, love and devotion. This loss has undoubtedly left an immeasurable space in her heart. Yet even in the face of such grief, Judy continues to show the same grace and care for others that has always defined her. It is a testament to her strength that she carries her sorrow with dignity while still extending warmth to those around her. Judy Lawrence Lamb is more than a giving person—she is a cornerstone in the lives of many. Her life reflects a rare and beautiful balance of love, sacrifice and perseverance.

In honoring her, we recognize not only the challenges she has endured, but the countless lives she has uplifted along the way. She is, and will always be a remarkable woman whose kindness leaves a lasting imprint on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Mrs. Judy Lamb is a beautiful woman inside and out. I’ve known her all of my life. She knew me first because she’s older than me. I knew as I grew up, and still know her to be a kind and sweet woman. She is like her father, Mr. James Lawrence who was a very political man. He cared about his people and their wellbeing. I still remember Mr. Lawrence when he ran a bus from Cypress Manor projects for a bus load of ladies. We used to talk about that all the time; my mother was one of those ladies.

We called Mr. Lawrence “JW” because of his kindness and generosity. He would show incoming residents our apartment because my mother, Pearl Stagg, always kept a beautiful house and decorated it beautifully.

When I was a little boy and first saw Judy’s mother (Mama Lou), I thought that she was a movie start because she was so pretty.

We should have a day honoring “JW” and now, his daughter Mrs. Judy Lamb who’s carrying the torch through her ministry continuing his work while praising God.

There is something profoundly powerful about a daughter who refuses to let her father’s story fade. When I was asked to write the foreword to her book—unERASED: The Attempted Annihilation of the James Wesley Lawrence Legacy, it immediately resonated with me on a deeply personal level. Like her, I shared a close, connected relationship with my father—one that shaped who I am, how I see the world, and how I show up for others every single day.

Losing a father changes you. It doesn’t just leave an absence—it creates a responsibility. A responsibility to carry forward their values, their voice, and the love they gave so freely. It becomes part of your purpose.

That is why this ministry matters so much. Not just for her, but for anyone who has loved deeply and understands what it means to want that love—and that legacy—to live on.

In my own life and in my law firm, I have made it my mission to help families protect what matters most. And I can tell you with certainty that legacy is not about documents; it is about connection. It is about making sure the people you love are not left with uncertainty, but instead are guided by clarity, intention, and love.

Entrusting me to write the foreword is something I carry with great respect. Because at its core, this is about more than a book—it is about honoring a father, preserving a story, and continuing a bond that does not end. And that is something I understand… deeply.

Judy Lawrence-Lamb who I affectionately refer to as ‘Mama Judy’ possesses a rare and beautiful gift—she makes you feel as though you are the only person in the world that matters. With her undivided attention, she creates a safe and sacred space where you can truly be seen, heard, and understood. She gently walks alongside you as you process pain, trauma, and frustration, offering wisdom and compassion in the most non-judgmental and graceful way.

Her warmth is unmatched—whether through her comforting presence or her genuine, heartfelt hugs, she has a way of pouring love into every interaction. As a Co-Author, Judy’s words breathe life into every page, filled with powerful lessons, encouragement, and unwavering love.

I am deeply grateful to have known her for over twenty-five years. Though she did not give birth to me, she has loved me as her own—and that kind of love is truly priceless.
