Judy and I were partners in crime during our time at Cleary. She was an amazing friend, mentor and teacher. Walter, David and Judy I am so sorry for your loss. Just know she was a true warrior in and out of the job. There's not a day I don't think of her. If I knew what happened I would've came to pay my respect. I will donate to the lung cancer society in her honor!!!!
