Judy was one of my three best friends at Columbia Business School. Sadly two of the three have died of cancer. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think of Judy and miss her. She was so unique and had a very loving and generous nature. They say if a person is remembered they have not truly died. I believe this of Judy. I send my love and condolences to Rich, Leon, and Debra.

Please accept my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies. I hadn't seen Judy since Fieldston but got in touch with her last winter when I was in Fla. We met one afternoon and she was as charming, lovely, interesting and charismatic as I remembered her.
