Norah, Benjy and Daniel - I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a force of nature in every good way - I so appreciated her strength of character and deep down kindness. We (Comstocks, Money Bags friends) will miss her and want you to know you are in our hearts.

To Norah, Benji, and Dan; so sorry to hear you lost your mother. Judy was a force in our neighborhood, always frank, forthright, and with that wonderful New York sense of humor. For us new mothers, she had the good sense and positive attitude that kept us grounded. I am grateful for her influence in my life.

Hagan children, So sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I first met her in the baby sitting coop, and she had great stories to tell about her kids. We later worked together at Mercy General and I aspired to be as great an R.N. as she was. She was awesome and I learned so much from her. May she rest in peace.
