Not sure what to say?

First I want to say that David Antos captured this remarkable woman perfectly. I was very happy to see her memorialized in this way. I was also a student at HBR and knew how much she valued David and admired his brilliance. Judy encouraged my writing but more than that, she encouraged me to be myself. I was a feminist back in those days when we were called women´s libbers. 1969 - 1973. For some reason, I found it necessary to voice, my opinions In conservative Hinckley, Big Rock. I guess I...

Judy was one of my favorite administrators at Elgin Community College. She has a heart of gold, and she led with it. I admire her so much for that. She was the kind of leader who accomplished a lot while caring immensely about students and employees. RIP, Judy, and thank you.

Sympathy to the entire family,especially to her little sister,Sandee, who always spoke with pride, love and joy of her sister, Judy.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. May the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 comfort your family.

Judy was one of my most memerable teachers. She inspired me in numerous ways: teaching can be humorous while rigorous, relationships matter, and be the best you possible. She will be missed and always fondly remembered.

Judy Jobe was one of the best teacher I ever had. She help me find my voice through writing, my purpose through volunteering and student leadership, and treated me as a person worthy of respect and capable of more than I thought possible. Rest In Peace, well done, good and faithful servant!
