Judy was an inspiration to me, she was as she puts it "my biggest fan". Judy helped me get through a lot of tough trials in my life, she was a breath of fresh air. Judy and I shared the same birthday and I always heard from her even after our therapy sessions were long over on my birthday - wishing me a happy birthday. This year I did not hear from her. I was unaware that she was ill, her e-mails were always so pleasant. She did always mention how happy she was to be retired and spend time with her grandkids. It was always nice to hear from her every year. I did not realize Judy had passed until a friend of mine who also saw her for therapy - advised me of this yesterday. My condolences to the family and friends. She will be missed, she was my savior, my hero, my sounding board, my angel. I am very happy to have met her and am ever so grateful she was a part of my life - even if it started out strictly professional - we still kept in touch after all these years. All my love to Judy and thank you again for everything you have done, even if it was to lend a hug, an ear or a sound bit of advice - everything you have done has helped guide me on my way. You were an amazing person.

Judy is the reason I am enjoying my family and life as much as I do. I spent lots of time with her intermittently over the past 20 years. I was comfortable and trusted her from the first time I met her. Even when I was not seeing her, I took comfort that I could pick up the phone and arrange to see her and she would help me work through my problems. It never felt like therapy; it was like chatting to a very understanding friend who happened to be very wise and reassuring. I loved hearing her talk about her daughters and grandchildren; her face would light up as she generously shared a part of herself with me. I loved being greeted by her beloved pets and enjoyed swapping pet stories with her. I have thought of her often even though it's been almost two years since I last saw her. I think that's the way it is whether you are family or were a friend or client of Judy's. She touched lives in the best way. I will miss her.

Dear Judy's family, I saw that Judy had passed. We were her next door neighbors for years until she moved. We dog sat for her a couple of times and before she moved she shared a few of her garden plants with me which I planted; they come up every year and when they do I think of Judy and remember her fondly always assuming that she was enjoying her new home near her children and grandchildren. I remember the names of her two dogs, Emma and Jake. I think that it was Jake that liked to herd my, then little, son Kevin. I also remember Judy asking whether it bothered me that people, clients I guess, drove up and down the drive to and fro appointments. It did not; Judy was a very considerate neighbor. We shared a love of plants, animals and children. I remember that she was so excited when she was about to be a grandmother for the first time. She spoke of her daughters and sons-in -law often. I believe that being closer to her children was the reason for her moving from 15 Whippoorwill. I also remember her asking my opinion about her wig when she was undergoing chemotherapy. It was a pretty short blond haircut and she looked great. She had a great attitude about it all as I recall. She spoke highly of her doctor. Once we replaced her mailbox for her; both of our boxes were falling apart. We were happy to do it but she insisted on repaying us in some way and she did so by giving us passes to the Bronx Zoo which we enjoyed very much. She was a lovely person. I am sad that she is gone from this world but it has been a true pleasure to remember our brief friendship. Fondly, Lauren

Dear Family, How shocked I was to read Judy's obituary in the local paper. She was my close neighbor and a new friend, who I so enjoyed getting to know. How I will miss her greetings as I take my daily walk past her house. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Janet Schloat
