Not sure what to say?

I knew Judy a long time ago. My memories of her are positive and loving. My sorrows to her family and friends.

Jerry & Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. What a wonderful lady Judy was. I know my parents Flora & Dick Condon enjoyed seeing her through the years. Now they will all be dancing a jig and raising their glasses together. Nanette

Judge McMahon was a trailblazer and mentor to so many. Everything she did, she did with Grace and humility and she made this world better as a result of it. Thank you Jerry, Sarah, and her family she loved so much, for unselfishly sharing her with us. I will miss her and always remember those tender teaching moments.

As a State Senator, I had the distinct pleasure to nominate and help elect Judy to be the first female statewide judge in South Carolina history. What an accomplishment! She made all of us proud to support her as a family court judge. More importantly, she was a wonderful person of integrity and compassion. Our prayers for her family's loss. We will remember her and mourn her passing.

Jerry, May you and Judy's family be surrounded by love and support. John

She created her own gorgeous backyard Charleston garden and supported the seasonal garden and home tours,...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jerry: I am sorry for your loss. Judy was a brilliant judge and an even better person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Jerry, Sarah, Marie and Woolbright and Lentine families: Judy was a courageous, caring judge with a kind demeanor and a warrior spirit. It was my great honor to serve her floor leader for her historic election as the first women to serve as a statewide judge in South Carolina. When I later joined her as a member of the South Carolina Judiciary with another first, we began many years of service together. She was "primes inter pares"-first among equals. Today, I salute my dear Sister...
