While my Mom and Judy had their differences, as a step-sister she was pretty good to me, particularly when I was at Loomis. She and her former husband, Jerry Kohn gave me a 21st Birthday party that was second to none. Judy will be missed.

A reading of Judith Pinney's story shows music, writing, loving life, family and community were among the exclamation points to her life. We see her shadow every day through Peter.

Although older than I, we were friends and I came to know her and her family well. She was an intelligent, caring and hard working person, always mindful of the needs of others. Her life was "For a Blessing."
