Judy and I met at one of the County clinics in l974/5. We continues working together until my retirement, but we kept in touch until the time of her passing. I will miss her very much, she was 'one of a kind' with great work ethics and strong values. She always said, it is my Yankee heritage and she was right. Rest well, Judy. Thanks to Philip for notifying me. Till we meet again, Judy, bye for now. Bobbie Leva

I had the honor of knowing and working with Judy since 1976. We had lost contact in recent years and I'm so glad we reconnected a few months ago. We had some great phone conversations. With the Olympics going on, we reminisced about going together to see the diving in 1984 in L.A. We loved our dogs and she came to a dog show when I was showing one of my cockers. Mostly we liked to get together to eat! Our last conversation, Aug 8, we talked about baseball, recent Angel and Dodger trades. I will miss her very, very much.
