I think of Judy and our friendship often. Most memories are her pride and love for all her children and grandchildren. Like me now, Judy was always growing in way to improve herself for her family. I think of Judy and her mom every time I go to Kareoke. Oh Dolly! Every time I drive through the south shore, pass her street, and NH it her smile, laughter, and kindness. I also think of Debbie and Eric, I know you know how much I loved your Mom. She´s right there with you. Sandy

Hey Jude, I love you my friend. I remember we became good friends in nursing school. Those college days became bearable with your cheerful smile, and encouragement to stick to it and become RN's. I learned so much from our friendship, but laughed mostly with you and your family. I admired your strong love and devotion to all your children, mother, and sisters. I also learned the song "Hello Dolly" from your mom singing at karaoke, and always think of those days and times together when I hear that song. I can only imagine what those selfies would have looked like if we had them! I send my deepest condolences to your family, and will forever have the fondest of memories of you in my heart as you know. Sandy

It is with a heavy heart that we learned of this news. My husband and I loved spending time with Judy and Bob, and we had lots of laughs together! Her smile, her eyes, her sense of humor were only a part of who she was. Her kindness and concern for others was unbounding! The world has lost one of the great ones, and our sympathies to go her loved ones. She will be sorely missed!

We loved Judy- she brought joy and truth into every encounter, her passing is a loss to all of us who knew her. When she moved to Braintree as a teenager, we all knew here (even before meeting her) from her radiant dimpled smile and eyes filled with love! Many of us were blessed to be able to reconnect with Judy through Facebook and our 50th BHS reunion following many years of life without contact. It was joy to be in Judy's presence as she shared her life story in honest calm fearless truth but even mores in love. That Judy and Bob found happiness together was so apparent when in their presence.....we are so grateful to have been a small part of that joy.
Our sincere condolences to Bob and family, to Judy's family and all of you together. Judy's beautiful loving smile will remain in the forefront of all times shared together extending from high school to last October . God Bless and be with you all during this sad time , prayerful hope that every beautiful memory will comfort you all . With so much love to each of you.

Oh Judy, you were so much fun growing up. As cousins we shared a lifetime of wonderful family memories! At Lorraine's the three of us could talk all night and laugh at all the good times telling one story after another. I'll miss you Judy, and your great sense of humor. Rest in Peace and watch over your family and me too ! Send messages from Heaven like Lorraine does!
