Living only seven houses away in Park Ridge, Judy was my childhood best friend. A significant amount of my fond memories growing up include joyful times spent together with Judy and my sister Kathy. Our families were intertwined and we shared a childhood filled with adventure and laughter. The vast memories we created together will forever hold a special place in my heart. Her sharp wit and intellectual skill left a memorable mark, challenging me to think more deeply and critically. Her profound passion for poetry and literature, her deep spiritual connection and love of God, and her contagious laugh will be dearly cherished and forever remembered. Rest in peace, dear Judy. Your bright light will never dim.
My dear friend Judy and I grew up together. Our close nit group from St. Paul Of The Cross were always together. She was the smartest lady I knew, with her incredible memory, great wit and intelligence, beautiful singing voice and talent in writing always astonished me and all that knew her. Her wonderful laugh will always be in found memories. Fly with the other Angels sweet Judy. Love you so much!
