Judy , I have often thought about you, over the years. We had many many fun times together growing up ,playing at each other's house . I loved your house, with your two staircases, sometimes we would sneak out on the roof, of the second floor! We had so many good times together. I sure do miss the good old days!!! rest in peace my friend ❤

Judy was one of my first patients when I started in Mattapoisett. It was an honor to take care of her and be a part of her life. My best to all her family. She loved you all and would take about you at her visits. She will be missed.

Judy was a true friend. We hung out throughout St. Lads Grammar School & both graduated in the Class of 1965. We hung out on Archer St, the back road (Ruffner St.), Hunting Park Ave. Judy, myself, Victor Czapor, Helen Olekszyk, Walter & Jimmy Clark & a few more including Gloria when she got older. Even though we weren't born into the same family, we still were Family.
Miss you Judy.
