Dr. Judith was a wonderful lady who will be missed. I met Dr. Judith at while working at JSCC. I had the privilege of working with her and through working with her, we became friends as well. After her retirement from JSCC, we continued to keep in touch although not as often as I would have liked. Rest In Peace, Dr. J!!!
