Like a ship that's left its moorings and
sailed bravely out to sea, your beloved
has sailed away in calm serenity.
But there's promise of a greater joy than
earth could have in store, for God has planned a richer life beyond the unseen shore.
Ed, there are so many beautiful, inspirational poems and passages that touch our very souls. Judy is beautiful and inspirational. She will continue to touch our hearts and lives. The legacy of the quality of your life together is truly a joyful influence on us all.
May you, Ed, and your family find calm seas as you journey on this mission of blending the heartache of loss and the many blessed and treasured memories you have. God bless you all.

Dear Ed, Lori and Kristen,
We were so saddened to hear of the struggles and loss of your gorgeous, very kind, compassionate and very elegant wife and loving mother!
I always looked forward to attending Classic Car Club events knowing that I could spend delightful time with Judy and so looked forward to seeing the latest fashion trends as she was so impeccably dressed with amazing style! Her beautiful smile was always so inviting and she had a gift to make everyone she touched feel special! She always embraced my two young daughters! When they were babies, your mom was the one that would help me out by holding and comforting them! Judy will be so greatly missed and is an inspiration to all of us! Her legacy will live on forever!
Our prayers are with all of you as you endure this very difficult time. May all your wonderful memories and her unconditional love for you help to ease the pain! We are so very sorry!!
Love

Some people brighten the area by their presence. Judy is one of those people. The world, the car shows and all of us will miss the fun she brought to us all. My condolences to Ed and the family who I hope will move on doing what she would want you to do. That will be paying the greatest respect to her. When I see any of you at a car show, toy show or other place I will be reminded of her. Her liveliness will continue in the minds of all of us.

Ed,
Our sincerest condolences from Elaine and I. We have thought of you both often, and wondered if you were returning to Audubon or we'd meet you @ Starbucks.
We knew of Judy's journey, and had hoped it was in remission, and now , we know that she is at peace. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet you occasionally @ Starbucks, and certainly enjoyed her pleasant smile and bubbly personality when I saw her almost daily @ Audubon. We will always remember the good times and talks we had together. God comfort you during this time of sorrow! God Bless!
Much love,

I only had the pleasure of knowing Judy for a little over 2 years from when I first began work on Ed & Judy's Cord and Dual-Ghia. All I can say is what a great and gracious lady who showed wonderful kindness to my daughter Kacey during last Summer's Concours at St. Johns. She knew I was making a special color of the Dual-Ghia and she never let on to Ed. She will be missed.

Dear Ed and family,
I was heartbroken to hear the news of Judy's passing. For so many years I have thoroughly enjoyed our visits to your home and at the car events and auctions. I would always look for the most beautiful woman on the showfield when I was trying to locate the two of you for a hug and a laugh. Her style was impeccable! And her smile was the warmest! I always enjoyed that we shared the same wedding anniversary and Judy always remembered to wish me the best.
Please know that her strength during her own battle provided me with strength during my own, as well.
Sending you my prayers and deepest sympathy.
With love,
Dana Brezzi
