I visited the New York memorial in 2018. I didn’t know you but I tried to imagine that awful day as you went about your day. I cannot find words to fully express my emotions and for my thoughts for you. David Rees from Wales, resident in Scotland. A sad place this land of tears.

I came here from a documentary and I always watch it on the anniversary of 9/11 and it makes me cry every time it says she didn't make it out alive. I don't really know what else to say so I will put some quotes that I really like.

"Look for something positive in each day, even if some days you have to look a little harder"
"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift! That is why it is called the present."

I remember Judy as a very good friend during and after high school. We had many great, fun times together. Lots of laughter! Unfortunately, we lost contact over the years. I just saw a photo of Judy in a 15 year anniversary memorial of 9-11 and recognized her immediately. She had that same wonderful smile on her face. My heart is with you dear Judy. I can only imagine how frightening it was for you. May you be safely with God now and smiling down at us with everlasting peace. Love you Judy Reese. May God Bless you and your family. My condolences & prayers to Liz and Drew.

I never had the pleasure of knowing Judith, but I saw her in a documentary and my heart broke when I heard she didn't make it.
I have a heart condition that often affects my breathing. And to know that she fought her way down the stairs when she could barely breathe hurts me deeply. I can only imagine what she was going through. But it has also inspired me to live every day to the fullest!
She was such a brave woman and I truly believe that she is watching over her loved ones to this day, because that is who she was.
When Im going to ground zero next year I will bring flowers for Judith. She will forever be in my prayers! Rest in peace, sweet angel.
Love from Norway!

Back in september my boyfriend and I watched a documentary that mentioned Judith. It made me look at 9/11 a whole different way. I felt so sad and I wanted to cry. My boyfriend and I decided that when we go to New York were going to take flowers for Judith.

Judith, you worked on the 88th floor of 1WTC. I saw a documentary on the television that featured you in it. It broke my heart to see the actress who portrayed you suffer to traverse eighty-eight flights of stairs, and to hear your co-workers tell stories about you, it was just too much. When I found out that you didn't make it, I cried. May God bless you and your family and friends, and may you rest in peace.

I am 13 and yesterday as I watched a show with Judith in it, I had the most feeling for her and it got to my heart. The fact she had C.O.P.D. and kept on pushing past her limit and went out of her regular abilities to keep on going. she gave me inspiration to push past my comfort zone and no matter what, I know I can always try harder and live a better life in her honor. Now that I think of it she is my hero, because she never gave up. I never really knew her full name but the knowledge of what she did gave me the want to know her full name. I hope everybody who has crossed her path will remember her because, I know that I will always remember even though I never met her.

On this 8th memorial for 9-11, I paused to reflect on the fun we had 40 years ago!!! Judy was my neighbor in Bloomfield, NJ and we had great times together. I listened when her name was read, and my heart goes out to her family. May her memory be but a blessing.

As I stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

I decided right after the terrorist attack that I would find one persons name and pray every day for her and her family. I picked Judy because we have the same two names, Judith Anne.

I pray for God to give you peace and to comfort your family.

With much respect,

To Judy's family, I am the sister of Sharon, who was one of Judy's closest friends. I was lucky to know Judy and always enjoyed her company and the time I spent with her. She was always doing things with my sister and I know Sharon loved her. When Sharon passed away I know she missed her as much as me. She was there when my family and myself needed the comfort. I was gratful knowing that Judy was always willing to talk to me anytime, if I needed too. My sincere sorrow goes out to the family and friends of Judy and I know how much this lovely person is missed.

About a week ago I received an unsolicited engraved bracelet from Calvery Chapel in Albuquerque, NM with Judith's name on it. I wear it except when I work outside on the weekends. I wonder about who this woman was and about her family. I pray daily for Judith's family and wonder who they are, where they are, how many family members are missing her. The tributes sound like Judith was a special person and very missed. I feel close because I have her memorial braclet. I send blessings to Judith's family. Sincerely, Marj

Thanks Judy for all the fun you gave me and smiles we had on our trip to work together on the Number 40 bus. I really hated waiting for the bus and riding the bus alone so I was so happy when I would see your face because you made it fun. I used to look for you every day and was so happy when I would see you get on the bus because I knew I would have someone to talk to on the path train ride all the way to WTC where we both worked. I also looked for you everyday after Sept 11 hoping you made it out too. I would like Judith's family to know that it meant alot to have known her for the brief time our paths crossed. Everytime I pass by the bus stop outside the Harrison Path Train Station I still look for her. I haven't been able to get on the Number 40 bus ever since I found out she wont be riding the bus anymore.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
