Not sure what to say?

Judy was a very dear friend (a second Mom) when we worked together at Thompson, Hine & Flory. She was so strong and caring. We stayed in touch over the years even after we both were employed at other jobs. I am so sorry that I did not know of her passing and just found out. Words can not express her loss. My heartfelt condolences to the entire family. She will be truly missed. My prayers are with you!

Judy was one of my dearest Friends. She was a major contributor to me getting employment at Jones Day. While at Jones Day we occasionally had lunch together sometimes she´ll give me a ride home from work. She a great love for my wife and children. Just now finding out she passed. What a loss? My heart goes out to the family! May the Lord´s comfort rest upon you and family.

So sorry for your loss. Mom and I sat next to each other for years at Jones Day and had many wonderful talks. She loved all her sons and daughters-in-law with all her heart; her grandchildren too. My deepest sympathy to all of you. So sorry I live in AZ and can´t be with you. My prayers go out for your entire family and may Judy rest in peace. Roz Goldstein
