Everyone who knew Judy will remember her. Again, all our sympathies and condolences go to you and your kids. This is just a tremendous loss for you all. She will be sorely missed.
I just read it on George's blog a little while ago. I'm so, so sorry to hear this. Bill and Judy seemed like a single entity, you were always so close. My heart is heavy.
All my condolences to you and your family on this terrible loss, Bill. As someone else noted in the comments a few days ago, I felt that I knew Judy because in your words she shone through. All my prayers for your comfort and consolation at this time.
Bill, Our thought and prayers are with you and the family. We were so sorry to hear this news, and hoped Judy would have a full recovery.God Bless. Tom & Ginger
Bill, I have no words. I'll be holding you in my heart. The devotion to one another you and Judy shared was evident in a million different ways, and brought joy to all who knew you.
I am so, so sorry to read about this. I feel very blessed to have had the chance to get to know Judy and you at Bouchercons, and going on Sunday afternoon field trips. My sympathies to you and your children.
My condolences, Bill. From your occasional updates, it seemed Judy was determined to make the most of each day. That strikes me as the best approach one can take to life.
My heart goes out to you, Bill. Judy was a wonderful woman, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet her. Rosemarie and I will keep you in our thoughts.
Words fail me. My jaw aches, my eyes water, my heart goes out to you, Bill. A fine, fine woman has left us. Deepest condolences to you and the family. If there is anything we can do, please ask.
Jean and I both send our best to you, and the kids. Wish there was more to say, but words are so inadequate. We are so very, very sorry. You are in our thoughts a lot.
Karen and I, our whole family loved Judy and miss her. So sorry. She was a champ. Seeing you two was always a great pleasure for us, and she is with us in our hearts forever, and I do not exaggerate at all. We love you Bill.
I am so sorry for your loss. (Your friend George Pittman was also a teacher of mine, and he was also my department chair later. He was a prince.) I have followed your blog for several years and love it. May God be with you in the days ahead. Dr. Bill Smith
Oh, Bill. I am so sorry. I was looking forward to meeting her, and you, one nebulous someday; this really shouldn't have happened. My thoughts are with you.
Bill, it's so hard to find words. You know I've always loved Judy and thought the two of you were a perfect couple. She was a great fighter. Sending healing light and love to you and Angela and Alan and all your family. Please keep in touch and call me if you need to talk or anything. You know I will help anyway possible. Just got off the phone with Susan Cooper as we were together today and she sends her love also.
With every best wish Bill, and love in this difficult time - with the word difficult being the tip of what we see of the Iceberg, take care of yourself
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Bill. I know from all your posts what a beautiful relationship you shared with Judy. Deepest condolences, friend.
