I was a classmate of Judy's (1960) and a friend. I remember her warm, outgoing personality and sense of humor. I extend my sympathies to her husband and family.

Dear Gil: I was very saddened to hear of Judy's passing. I remember her from our kindergarten days at Franklin and then again when we met up in high school. We were born around the same date as our mothers were in the hospital at the same time giving birth to us--so we go back a long ways. My sympathy goes to you and your family.

The Dietz family was (and is) one of the strongest and most beautiful I have ever known. Judy welcomed many of us into her extended family with a warmth I'll never forget. We miss you.
