"Judy was one of my dearest friends in High School. Her kind parents let me live with them for the last few months of high school as my mother moved from the area. We lost touch for years and had re-connected in the past few years. I have so many wonderful memories of our time as friends. I am so shocked and saddened. My heartfelt condolences to Carl and her family."
