Judy passed away this evening. I want to craft a wonderful post in her honor, yet I am at a loss for words. My heart aches. Tears fall. I think of Nate and Frank. I think of the powerhouse of a woman I met in Cleveland years ago. I muse over how I expected her to be tall. Yet when she arrived at my hotel room, a tiny bouncy sprite of a woman, bursting with love and energy stood in front of me. Nothing like I imagined. She was more, better, brighter, funnier and more loving than her online voice ever gave hint of.
Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed.

I only had the pleasure of meeting her once(at that conference in Cleveland), however, I very much enjoyed her Twitter updates & upbeat attitude especially in lieu of her battle with cancer which she ultimately succumbed to.
RIP Judy. Thoughts & prayers with Nate & Frank.

This is horrible. I’m very sad. I never met her, but she seemed like a very loving person.

I wish I’d met Judy. Even though I didn’t, I mourn her loss and send my best wishes to her family. Her positive voice and spirit will be sorely missed.

I simply can’t believe it.
