Judy taught my children and I did Inclusion Math with Judy for several years. She had a way with students who did not learn math easily. And she took many students “under her wing†and helped them in ways besides math.

Judy, I remember those sweet cousin days at Granny’s house, where the “four little girls†laughed, sang, pretended, and played. You were the best possible companion then; later you were a good woman shining light in the world.

My deepest condolences to Milo and family. Judy (Arkie was her online name) was such a classy woman and friend. We spent time together in Boston with other online friends. I'm sure there is a special place held with the Lord as she enters the Pearly Gates and catches up with others awaiting her. Rest In Peace, my dear friend.
