  1. Judi when I came to IU School of Nursing you took me under your wing. You were such a great mentor and friend to me. Recently I have so enjoyed our many telephone conversations. I will truly miss you. Cathy Wiliams

  2. Judi was like a sister to me, her family was like my family. No words can be told how much I loved her. The loss will be great. My prayers are with her family. Sharon (Sutton)Cobbs

  3. One of my favorite memories is seeing Judi in a white tea length formal, it was white and Katie had put tiny red bows all around the skirt, omg she looked so beautiful! I was lucky to be a part of that family, she will be missed by so many!

  4. I had the pleasure of working with Judi for several years at IUPUI. She was a very considerate, kind and thoughtful co-worker. My sister and I enjoyed lunching with her and she made delicious fudge. We will miss our friend. Pat and Pam May
