I used to work with Judy and she knitted Christmas stockings for my children. I always think of her at Christmastime. I am sorry for your loss and will always have fond memories of her.

I worked with Judy for many years at what is now Siemens. She was a great lady and always had a story to tell. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

Dear John, Kim, Jill and Scott,
Bill and I are so sorry to hear of Judy's death. Judy was my first friend. I met her on the way as we walked to the Glenwood school together, then to Beebe Jr. High and to Malden High. Lots of visits back and forth to each other's homes, lots of fun together, lots of memories-our trips on the train to Boston together-alone beginning in 7th grade, Girl Scouts, dancing school, mutual friends. Judy was my bridesmaid, my best friend for many years. We went to our 50th high school reunion together.
I always thought of her on April 14th and called. I will miss her very much.

We have many fond memories of Judy while working with her at Corning Glass, Ciba Corning and Chiron Diagnostics. I (Roberta) remember long conversations and fun lunches with her. She was devoted to her family and a wonderful person to know.
We are so sorry for your loss and, just know, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I first met Judy when I became an employee of Corning Medical and Scientific in 1986. Over the years of our mutual employment, Judy was always kind and friendly to me. Judy was the only person who called me "Lawrence" other than my mother, who only used my full name when I was in trouble. Judy meant it to be other wise. I have missed Judy since she retired. I enjoyed being able to see her when she was subbing for the receptionist. I enjoyed her endless supply of stories. I was saddened to hear that Judy had passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I was saddened to read of Judy's passing. The James and Gerrish families were long-time Malden and Rockport friends. I will never forget in the mid-1950's the Gerrishes hosting several Miss America contestants at their summer home on Old Garden Beach, Rockport. Lovely young women and two beautiful sisters. Good memories in many ways. Nancy James
