Judy was a “sister” friend for 74 years. We meet when we were 6 Years Old. She was always there for me or my family. We talk alot-on the phone, or at the lake. There is a hole in my life now. I will miss her forever. The family has my heart and thoughts.
Judy was my aunt I haven’t seen her in a long time but I remember her well as a teenager condolences to Robert and his family
Our most sincere sympathies to you Bob, Brian and Scott in the loss of our dear Judy. She was a beautiful and caring friend for so many years and God mother to our son Johny.
We will miss Judy so much .
May you feel the blessing of knowing Judy is in a better place and at peace in the presence of our Lord.
With deepest sympathy.

Judy was a close, special friend since childhood. We both attended St. Stephen’s grade school and then St. Margaret’s Academy high school. Our friendship continued after high school for another sixty years. Sometimes as a girls trip and other times with our husbands we enjoyed many travels together including Caribbean cruises, European and South American adventures and much more. Judy was a great friend and I cherish all those memories. I will miss my friend. Condolences to Robert, Scott and Brian.
My husband Bud and I were a longtime neighbors of Judy and Bob , my prayers and thoughts go out to all of the family, The memories of Judy will remain forever in your hearts…
