This is wonderful!! I can't think of anyone more deserving for this award.

Judy and I corresponded through messages and mail. I would send her Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies every year and even though I told her not to send anything in return she would send little gifts and knick knacks. One year Judy sent me what turned out to be one of my most treasured gifts: a Hawaiian Gremlin Bell. It was my first bell and it has the Hawaiian Islands and sea turtles on it. Every time I ride I glance at that bell, smile, and think of Judy.

I have recently joined this group and share your loss. Although I have ever met Judy or any of you fine folks, I feel as if I am connected. Ride in peace.

My memories of Judy were her always helpful tip to check your hoses, first thing I do when I get a new to me scooter is replace theses and clamps. It has never failed me. The other was her extolling the virtues of Heidenau K61 tires. Whenever anyone asked for tire advise she was right there. I just changed my GTS tires to Heudenau K61 and put them on my rescued Sprint 50 and I am a true believer.

Judy lives on through all of the kind advice she gave to struggling mechanics.

Its difficult to lose a solid friend. with all of the dumb shit that I have done in my lifetime, its amazing that I am still here. I wish that I had the opportunity to meet Judy. I hope that after I am dead and gone that folks will be saying kind words about me.
Cheers Judy! Cheers to all of you good people that keeping her memory alive.
