PJ, BRIAN AND DJ . and family. Oh my, this is such shocking news. Judy and I shared so many years together teaching art. She was my colleague and dear friend. I feel so sad - I hope you can feel some comfort knowing how much she meant to others, especially to me. Years at JFK and years at SHS- but more than that- the daily connection and sharing. Her kindness and humor and wit , all her loves and the laughs of every day. Dreams about retirement. Dear family - I will pray for her to be full of light and love and pain free. She was very special. So sorry.

PJ and Family,
I worked with Judy at SHS and was always impressed with her unconditional support of students and the knowledge/ technique she helped them develop throughout many years. Her smile and enthusiasm sustained and inspired a love for the arts and helped many a troubled student persevere to discover an unappreciated/untapped talent. I am thankful for the positive impact she had on her students and colleagues. May the time soon come when you are able to focus solely on the positive times of Judy's life.

JR, God will never give you more than you can handle. Hugs and prayers go out to you and every one in Judy's life. Remember the 'Ol Irish Blessing; "May there always be work for your hands to do, May your purse always hold a coin or two, May the sun always shine on your windowpane, May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain, May the hand of a friend always be bear you, May god fill your heart with gladness to cheer you." You are good family and even more wonderful friends. Take Care my friend, XO-NED & family.
