I will miss my friend Judy. We began school together at the old St. Agatha building in 1950 and continued our friendship for 70 years. I’ll continue to have an occasional chat with her in my mind and heart. May God comfort her family with the knowledge that Judy still prays for them, watches over them, laughs with them. My sympathy to her daughters and all the Steins.
Most sincerely,
Claire Greene Miller Petruso

Judy, I was so very sorry to learn of your passing, and had looked forward to seeing you upon my return to work. Your sense of humor and quick wit are two of my favorite memories of you. You had a wonderful talent for crocheting and I always enjoyed seeing your latest projects. Rest in peace, my friend. You are loved and will be missed by many. Char
Kim and Tami,
I’m so sorry to read of the loss of your mother. I used to see her at mass frequently, and not too long ago introduced myself as someone who grew up with Kim.
Sincerely,
Donna (Leffingwell) Cessna
We are so very sorry for your loss. Judy was a wonderful person with a laugh like her sisters. Your family is in our prayers.
Mom, I really am at a loss of words for losing my best friend. You have taught me so much over the years, most importantly to treat people how I want to be treated and our shared love of crocheting. Every time I pick up my crochet hook, you will be there helping me. How do I thank you for everything except to say I Love You and I Miss You. You are now with Rhonda, Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Barney, Aunt Karen and Miles. I know you are safe and no longer in pain, but that can’t erase the pain I am feeling right now. Thank you to everyone for your condolences.
Mom, I still struggle with how to adequately convey just how much you mean to me. No matter what I was doing or where I was, you were always my biggest cheerleader… even if you couldn’t see any sense to what I was doing (which happened frequently). 🙂 There is still so much that I want to share with you. But now, instead of writing you letters, you will have to listen to me drone on as I talk to you. You gave me my independence, taught me to be strong and to trust my own strength. You taught me to be kind and loyal. I hope I can emulate your example. Just like I ended my letters to you: I miss you lots, Mom, and love you more.
