May you be granted the peace and freedom of spirit we all yearn for and have reservations for in heaven. I just said goodbye to my twin brother and hope someday that we will all be re-united in spirit. I say goodbye to you, dearest friend from our days in Aldie when Matt, Moira, Moby and Dewey romped around in your nearby woods, free to explore their magical worlds which you and I so embraced. I know you are as proud of them as I am. We will never forget you. I thank Dewey for finding you and thereby giving me a chance to have a conversation before your time was deemed over. I am truly sorry to see you go. I shall miss the opportunity of not seeing you here arain and hope the next world will present its opportunity to us! Love, Rosie##imported-begin##Rosemarie Francke##imported-end##

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies in the loss of your dear loved one. How comforting in knowing Almighty God has not only the power but also the desire to resurrect our loved ones. Jesus himself said: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." John 5:28,29##imported-begin##W Allen##imported-end##

To Moira and Matt and the rest of Judy's family: I worked with Judy years ago at Reston Publishing. She was a very caring person, very passionate about what she believed in. She was definitely a force for good in the world, and will be missed by me and many, many others. Peace be with you at this difficult time.##imported-begin##Alice Cave##imported-end##

When I first began my service on the Loudoun County Public Library Board of Trustees, Judy was the first to extend her friendship and wise guidance to me. She was an incredible advocate for our libraries and for libraries across the nation and her legacy will live on. My deepest condolences.##imported-begin##Nancy Nuell##imported-end##

Moira, I became friends with your mom through school when you and Gretchen were classmates. Although it has been quite a few years since we have seen each other, my life was enriched by knowing her. Judy's intellect, humor, passion for equality, and her willingness to act on her beliefs was surpassed only by her love of her children. Hold on to your memories and let them live in your family's life. My love and peace to you.##imported-begin##Mary Ann Wherry##imported-end##
