There can not be a kinder and more generous person than Judy. She is thought of so very often and I am and forever will be grateful to her for touching my life. She was so special, a powerhouse, and simply a delight. Heartbroken to have her gone way too soon.

With Judi's passing the world is a sadder place. She helped so many dogs, not only greyhounds but other breeds as well. Plus, she helped many people, myself included after my home flooded. She was a dear friend and I will miss her greytly. Harold, if you need anything, just call.

Harold, Valerie Cambre sent out a message about your beloved Judi, as we are in contact about SDS 55 yr. reunion. We graduated together in 1959, and I believe we were both outstanding graduates for that year. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I must say I can still see your mom walking you across the street to the school each day. My best to her as well although I understand she is in ill health. My prayers to you as one of the special memories from grammar school. Carol Hebert Heyliger

Judi had a great sense of humor, and never missed an opportunity to help an animal in need. (Both The 2 legged and 4 legged kind.) I was very fortunate to have her for a friend. She will be missed.

Harold,
Judi once told me all dogs go to heaven. So I like to think of her now surrounded by her beloved greyhounds and one special little girl named Shilo.

I'm so sad to hear of Judi's passing. She was a sweet person, and I liked her from the moment we met some 35+ years ago. It is very upsetting to know that I cannot see her or talk and laugh with her, again. Miss you, Judi.
