.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was very sorry to learn of Judy's passing. We were members of the HCHS class of 1969 and were voted "Class Clowns" in our Senior year. Anyone coming in contact with Judy surely enjoyed her sense of humor and infectious smile. No doubt she will be missed by many. I would like to extend my condolences and express my sympathy to Judy's immediate and extended family. Barrie Eberstein Flemington, NJ .------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My heart and love goes out to all of you. A piece of me goes with Judy with great sadness. We were the Mountain Road gang. From baby dolls to Barbies, party lines to The Supremes. So many memories. You had the best sledding hill. My Mom and I reminisced Judy's Friday call, "macaroni and cheese with steak, just flip it once, don't put it on the grill till I get there Millie." As I flip through the albums I was able to find those kindergarten pictures. Judy will on forever in all of those she touched . May comfort come from her zest in life and the memories will all hold. My love to all of Judy's family. Barbara Runyon .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our deepest sympathies for Jim on his loss of a partner, for Kari and Kris on losing their Mom and the entire Pilecki family. We are very sorry for the pain and suffering you have all been dealt. Sometimes life just isn't a fair game. Your children love you, and you have left a mark with them and taught them to be who they are and will be. A mother is the greatest gift any child could get, and an even greater gift is a loving mother and father. Kari and Kris have been brought up by two very loving parents. In living, everyone has to lose something they hold dear at some point. With time the wounds will heal, and your Mom will never be forgotten. With Compassion, Annalyse, Renee, Stephanie, and Theresa Boucher

I want to send my sincerest sympathies to the family of Judy Pilecki. I only knew of Judy through her mother Lois. I met Lois a few years ago through bowling and have discovered a wonderful friendship with her, but also learned of her heart break with Judy having cancer. There is nothing I can say to repair your broken heart, only that I am sorry that you are having to go through this. Again let me express my deepest sorry to Lois and Judy's family. Terry Weiss
