I will miss your warmth.
I am sorry I never got the chance to say goodbye. I will miss Judy’s presence on the weekends before matches. She always had an easy smile and witty thing to say. My condolences to her family. I will miss you Judy.
Always a smile and a snack at Eastern
Judy always had a smile for me, when I came into Eastern. Her light-hearted nature and sense of humor made the world better. And she always some interesting snack behind the counter, along with her knitting, correspondence and a good book! She was a ray of sunshine every day. Rest in peace, Miss Judy!
Rest in peace Judy
It was a pleasure knowing Judy this last year. She helped train me at the front desk at EHI (Eastern Hills Indoor) and was such a sweet person. She brought me a calendar bc she said she had extras and I use it every day!! A small example of her being a true sweet heart. I will miss you Judy.
