Dear Hollick family,
I’m so sorry to hear the news. Judy had such a big presence and I always looked forward to seeing her each Christmas and enjoyed her spontaneous visits to the office. Judy always took the time to go out of her way to give each of us a kind word and a smile. She’d always grab a second plate to make sure I was well fed at the solar conference which was always so funny and sweet.
Thinking of you and the family during this time.
John, Julie and Victoria. Sorry to hear of Judith’s passing. She was my only first cousin on my mother’s side of the family and I have many fond memories of growing up together.
