I went to school with Judy, I remember her kindness and gentleness and her quiet smile. As we commemorte our 40th class reunion she will be missed by all.

My sympathy for the Kuusela family.

To the Kuusela Family
I went to Norwell High School with Judy and actually remember her since first grade. Judy's laugh is one thing that always comes to mind when I think about her. You all have my deepest sympathy.

I will best remember Judy as a patient, loving cousin and friend who always greeted the world with a great smile and a warm laugh - my older cousin who on many a family holiday made the time to talk with me, share a story, or play a game. In later years she and Rick graciously opened their home for many family celebrations, and welcomed everyone there as friends.

Mostly I will remember how happy Judy was to be with children - whether they be hers or others. She was a great Mom, teacher, mentor, and friend who will live on in the memories of all who knew and loved her so. We will miss you and are better for having known you.

Richard, Sarah and family,
I am sending my deepest sympathy, I never had the pleasure of meeting her but I did talk with her a few times. She will always be with you and you will always feel her love. If there is anything at all I can do just call. All my prayers are for your comfort and peace.

My thoughts are with all of you. Judy holds a special place in our hearts. She was a great neighbor, mother and wife. Monomoscoy Island will never be the same. My love to all of you guys!!
