I worked with Judy at Wyandot Mental Health Center in Kansas City, Kansas. She was the medical librarian there and was extremely competent at her job. I knew her to be a very positive mother who wanted to provide only the best to both of her sons. I know how difficult it was for her to be far from her one son who needed more care than she could provide, and how proud she was of her son living with her.

We lost touch when I moved to Michigan and she moved to California, and it is sad to find her now only to lose her.

She taught me about all I know about MS as well as teaching me how one could fight it with courage, strength, tenacity, yet keeping up other people's spirits through it all. I admired her greatly for all she accomplished and taught me in spite of the many hardships in her life.

My prayers are with all of you who loved her that your memories of her will be as bright and beautiful as mine are of her.
