Sincere condolences to Rachel, Nathaniel, and family and friends. Fond memories of my years in "The Town": playing tennis with Carl at Mohawk Park, enjoying summer parties, and my sister Heather's long friendship with Rachel. Judith and Carl were both role models that helped guide my own career path as an professional engineer and academic. So grateful to have known the family while growing up there. Best wishes.

Condolences to Rachel and Nathaniel and all who loved dear Judith. She had a brilliant mind and a beautiful soul. She remained youthful all her life. Her vitality and love of life endured even as she aged. She affected the lives of many through her teaching and scholarship. I will miss her for the rest of my life and be grateful for having known her for more than 40 years.
