Judith will remain forever in my memories from meeting in Peru through many fun years and visits at the farm and in Toronto.

Judy was a memorable parent at Jackman School. She was always eager to help her sons and other students in any way she could. I still remember the beautiful collaborative mural projects she worked on with them. A true force for good - I will always remember her. My condolences to her family. May she rest in peace.

Mrs. Phelan was my art teacher and is responsible for introducing me to some amazing experiences and a life long interest in Italy and Renaissance art.  My memory of her will never fade.
My condolences to her family.

We are so saddened by the news.  We have so many beautiful memories of our time with Judith over the years.  She was a very special human being.  Our condolences to the family during this difficult time.

Sylvie and Dirk

Condolences on your immense loss. I will miss Judith very much. Her caring, compassionate ways have benefited so many people. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.

When I chanced to meet Judith this spring and enjoyed our chat I again was reminded of what a down-to-earth,  classy woman she was.  As a former teacher at Jackman School I remembered her as a parent who truly contributed to the life of the school and my daughter Janine has always remembered her as someone special during those extra-curriccular activities when Judith's warmth and smiles meant a lot.   We will remember Judith as someone who life "made a difference."

So sorry to hear of Judy's passing.  May the special memories you  have of her help to sustain you this difficult time.

Judith was the first parent I met at Jackman School in 1982.  We were fresh "off the boat" and didn't know a soul but within weeks she had me organizing the Christmas concert and up to my knees in work.  She was so enthusiastic and energetic it was impossible to refuse her anything.  Thank you Judith for taking me under your wing and for your continued friendship.

We will miss Judith  very much and we wish her family the best in these difficult times.  Judith had a great sense of humour and was a good friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Judith's passing. She was so vibrant, such a personality - colourful, cheerful, creative, courageous and I'm just getting started! The last time I saw Judith was when Tom Mulcair spoke in Toronto last year and she was resplendent in an orange outfit that was stunning. My condolences to the family and all her dear friends. We are a little duller here in Toronto without her presence.

Dear Dan and family,

I am so sorry to hear of your very sad loss.  Please know that you have my most heartfelt condolences and that you and your family are in my thoughts.

most sincerely,

Miriam

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Judith's sons and family.  We are going to miss one of the nicest neighbours we ever had! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.  Vince and Maria Turco

On behalf of the Don Valley Art Club, I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences. We are deeply saddened to hear of Judith's passing. Not only was she a valued and dedicated fellow club member, but she was also our friend whose bright presence will be sorely missed.

So terribly sad to learn of Judith's death. She was always so enthusiastic to see her former students on Reunion Weekend, and she was very much missed this year. With sincere sympathy, on behalf of the Alumnae Association.

Judith's passing shocked and deeply saddened me.  She was an inspirational friend and colleague, compassionate, creative, talented and fun.  She encouraged me to exhibit my art, teach at Branksome and delve into yoga. Our time shared together will be lovingly cherished.
My deepest condolences to the families of Dan and Ben.

I am so sorry for your loss.  My deepest condolences.

Judith's friendship and her creative spirit will always be remembered and cherished.

Judith was an inspiration to so many, her students at Branksome Hall, her students at the Siena Art school, her colleagues! She opened a door in my life when she asked to to teach in Italy with her. A life changing experience. She will be missed by so many. My deepest condolences to the family.

What a shock to hear that Judith is no longer with us, except in memory of a wonderful woman. A positive, inspiring artist that I knew from the Don Valley Art Club, she was always both laid back and enthusiastic at the same time.
Her travel journals are a thing of beauty, and I hope you will hold them close as a remembrance.
Very sorry for your loss, we will all miss her.

Remembering Judith from the Charitable  Board of Accent on Ability as a lovely and artistic, well-spoken woman.  Always loved her sense of humour and insight with great idea's on her position there.  I had a common bond with her as being a Consumer/survivor.
I will miss her a lot and am deeply saddened by her passing.
Stephanie and Tom Lafratta
