Though I did not know her personally, I always appreciated her awesomely
knowledgeable contributions to this this list over the years I have been here.
Always patient and informative.

We all have lost a resource and for some so much more. My thoughts go out to
all who were touched by her.

Sincerely,
Hermeticgamer

her longtime friend Heather Blush (HMGS East) wrote that Judi awoke in distress
around 3:00 AM Monday morning. EMTs were called and she was transported to an
area hospital, but her heart stopped en route and she was pronounced dead on
arrival. As of this writing, no autopsy results or funeral arragements have been
published. Her family is understandably distressed; Judi was the 'baby' of the
family, only 44 years old.

student and a tireless presence at conventions & trade shows, she was always
willing to listen, coach, teach and generously share her considerable artistic
talent and knowledge. Yet she was approachable and eager to learn from any
exchange, as well. Judi was instrumental in developing miniatures hobby events
and workshops for the Origins Game Fair, and with GAMA and HMGS her vision of an
Art College is moving forward for 2009.
