I have always considered myself so very lucky to have met and worked with Judy. She was an excellent teacher and I learned so much from her. I admired her boundless energy, great sense of humor and her commitment to quality in everything she was part of. Judy made a huge impact on the people in her life.

I too have worked with Judy for many years, back to when we all still worked in the same office and cube section and would share personal stories. I felt like we were back together whenever we were on the same project. She will definitely be missed by many.
