My heart is sad to hear of Judys passing. Yet I imagine she's laughing with her beloved now. My husband and I lived in her ohana years ago and shared many lovely conversations and meals with the elegant, sophisticated, and signified woman Judy was. She will always be a big part of my journey and a woman I deeply admire. Thank you for all the grace and love, fly free just like you did in the hot air balloon over Egypt!
Judith and her husband Guy were very instrumental in organizing and keeping the Hilo Stroke Club, a program of the American Heart Assoiation-East Hawaii going for many years. She had a knack for organizing and bringing people together. May she Rest in Peace.
Judith was one of the most elegant, scholars I have known. I will always cherish the memories of wonderful meals she served to her friends. My son and I had the pleasure of a meal with her before he died. She will long live in our hearts!
