I wish I had chance to say good bye.
Judith was a great mentor, colleague, friend, and I felt always like family, especially I lived with her and her family in Mapplewood, NJ while teaching at Long Island University.
I will share some pictures later with her, Bruce, and Darian.
My sincere condolences to the whole family.

I had the privilege of spending time and laughs with Judy at Prairie Meadows. She was bright, funny and so so gentle. Judy had the best smile. I am sorry for your loss David and family.
