Judy was my very good friend. She always made time to meet me for lunch when I was in PA. We go back to elementary school. I remember when she met Bill. She was really smitten with him. They made a beautiful couple. Judy, Barbara Schmidt, Dottie Firlein, JoAnn Miller and I were always together all through out high school. I still miss her.

Judy lives on in my heart. I will always have fond memories of growing up with Judy and remaining good friends even after I moved to California. I was so glad that Judy and Bill came out here and I was able to show them around San Diego.

We were surprised to hear of the sudden passing of Judy this day, having known Judy over the years with Bill thru the Christmas Parties at Independence Communications, Inc., it was always a pleasure to be in her company.
