Addendum – As per my comment below, Judy was really everyone’s best friend.

After an almost six year battle with cancer. Great sadness for Bob, Lee, Mike, Debra, and Meghan, and five beautiful grandchildren.

I said to Brigid about a year ago that Judy was my best friend. And she was – not even close. Just a wonderful person and with her working for me (with me) I saw her 4-5 days a week. We were simpatico on almost everything.

Here is Judy in 2018  with Brigid and Mary Keon.

These are from before her daughter Lee’s wedding prep – I think in August 2007

Lee in pink and her two sisters Meghan (I think!) and Debra, and there’s Judy –

Bob and Judy after the wedding.

Judy is in a great place right now, while the rest of us have a hole in our hearts.

    A truly wonderful person. Lots of good memories over the years. I know this has got to be super hard for you Tom. I have only seen her a few times since her illness and I can feel a hole in my heart but I also feel a peace for her and can almost see her smiling with Jesus and embracing all the unborn she worked so hard to save. RIP Judy…the world is definitely emptier without you but your love lives on.

    I am truly sorry to hear this; I used to see her often in the German deli—she was part of what I called the “church crowd”–quite genuine—and sincere in her beliefs. And just very nice.

    Judy was a wonderful and amazing woman. She worked so hard for pro-life causes. Cancer takes another amazing soul. I’m very sorry to read this news. I wish she could’ve beat her cancer but she hung on, fighting bravely for so long. She is definitely a Saint in Heaven. God Bless Judy Anderson. I have learned a lot from her.

    My sincerest sympathies, Tom and Bridget. Just a beautiful person, inside and out. Judy had such an infectious smile and devoted heart. She was a true disciple of Christ and defended His teachings. May she rest in the eternal Peace of Our Lord.

    Judy was definitely a valiant soldier for Christ and her faith shone through in all she did. We will always remember her wonderful spirit as a friend, mother, grandmother, devoted assistant at Maryknoll and Graymoor and true leader at Holy Name of Mary Parish. We know many treasured friends from church and family are welcoming her home in heaven and she is finally at rest after her long battle with cancer. Rest in peace, dear friend.

    Judy, my dear and faithful friend, you will always be remembered by so many of us here who are still battling those forces that opposed you and continue to oppose us. Now we have your spiritual guidance and also that of Alan to see us through. Thank you dear, dear friend. Your smile will always be with us as we continue to support the unborn and those whose lives are threatened.
