I just heard the very sad news of Judy's passing. Judy was a considerate, caring and wonderful person. She has been a blessing in all of our lives and the world is a better place because of her presence. I am at a loss for words. We were all very fortunate that Judy was in our lives. My deepest sympathies to Judy's family and to Dr. Drinan and the entire office. God bless Judy. May this lovely woman rest in peace.

To Judy's family, friends and Dr. Drinan I offer my heartfelt sympathy at the loss of such a wonderful person, Judy Lamb. I have known Judy since the 80's but lost touch for many years. I was happy to reconnect with her when I started working at Dr. Drinan's office a year ago. Seeing her again it was like no time had passed at all. We would remember people, places and events we had once shared. So lucky to have spent time with her again. We anchored our shared past with such good and fun memories. Her work ethic was beyond anyone I had ever seen. Every physician I had ever known who had come in contact with her would have jumped at the chance to have this Judy become "their" Judy to take care of their practice, she was that good. As a person I can only say Judy you were the best in every way and I will miss you so very much. You really mattered.

To Judy's family, Dr. Drinan, and all who are missing Judy, we lost a " one of a kind" friend. There will never be another Judy. I worked with Judy at Dr. Drinan's office and she always had interesting stories and comments on about any subject from traveling, food, to politics. Can't imagine not seeing Judy working at her desk greeting the patients. She will be missed Dearly. God bless.

This was very sad news. I don't know Judy's family, but you all have my deep sympathy. I don't know how to translate my feelings about Judy except that she was quietly magnetic and very genuine and I liked her very much. I will miss chatting with her when visiting Dr.Drinan. I am very sad that Dr. Drinan has lost her good friend. A sad loss, indeed. Heartfelt sympathies to the lives of everyone benefiting from knowing Judy.
