I knew Judy from working at the Oak Lawn Public Library and she was a mentor to me. I am now a librarian myself and I owe this to her. My deepest sympathies to her family.

The season is changing, memories once shared with Judy come forth in the shadows. I pray for all those who encounter this experience. Love does not leave. I try to find peace in the understanding that she is in her Glory. I am so sorry I did not have the opportunity to say Good Bye...

Deepest and sincere sympathies to the McMahon and Swibes families. Judy was certainly a lovely lady. She was always warm and genuine and quick to offer a friendly smile. May she rest in peace.

To all who have had the pleasure of knowing and loving such a beautiful soul, we offer our deepest and sincere sympathy. Judy was the epitome of hope, love, faith, generosity, and most importantly family. We miss you Judy, so much already. We pray for everybody who has had the gift of knowing such a beautiful person, as this is a loss that nobody could have forseen. We especially want your children and husband to find peace somehow in all this. Aunt Judy, you are now an Angel and may you rest in peace forever. We will never forget the kindness you so unconditionally gave to us. Thank you so much for willingly letting us into your life.
Love always,
Erin and Brandon Rickman

The Quillinan Family of Spaulding Avenue -- one of the "old guard" families on the block--offer to all of Judy's wonderful extended family deep sympathy and our prayers. Judy was both an Old and New Testament woman, who responded to the Gospel message outlined in the Beatitudes and the tradition of the strong Jewish woman who set a table for all, spun the cloth for all, whose oil and welcomings never failed. Beautiful person that she was, what a beautiful legacy Judy has left! She has blessed us all and now helps to prepare a place for us yet. Be strong in the journey and at peace. Loving wishes to all from Jeanine, Pat and Jackie Quillinan
