To Elaine Segal and Judy's nieces and nephews, my sincere condolences.

Judy was a cheerful and outgoing member of the English Department of Community College of Philadelphia. I can recall my first day of employment at the college in 1993, when Judy invited me (a stranger) to use her office to fill out forms. Since then, we had a friendly relationship both in and out of the office. For a short time, Judy was my neighbor in Glenside, and she and I had tea on a little patio outside her apartment. I have many such fond memories of my interaction with Judy.
