When I worked with Judy at Worthington High School she was ALWAYS kind, helpful
and encouraging. She so loved her family and she will be missed. We lost another wonderful soul, as heaven has another to wait for the reunion.

Tom, Tom and David: our truly deepest sympathies to all of you. JUDY was one of my best friends and I also had the privilege of working with her. Don and I will always remember the times we enjoyed dinner out with the two of you. A part of my heart is broken.

Tom, David and I are holding you and your family in our hearts. Judy and I shared so many wonderful years as friends, actually more than friends, after we first met at Colonial Hills School. So many memories as we shared joys and sorrow. My mind is racing with memories and I cherish each one.
