I had the privilege of working with Judy in EMS back in the 1980's. My memory of her will always be of her smiling and being happy. She was smart, very caring and loved making a difference in people's lives. She will be missed but will always bring a smile to my face when remembering her.

I enjoyed the brief time that I knew Judy. She was a very special person. Her marriage to Victor was a beautiful one and I am happy they were able to share those moments with each other that made their lives all the more richer.
