    I was always in awe of Aunt Judith (or Judith, as she preferred to be called) from when I was very young. She had a larger-than-life energy and we were kindred spirits in our love of reading. I remember listening with rapt attention when she and Uncle Bob and Christina, Ian and David would come through for a visit. She created an awesome life filled with contrasts; she was a hub of culture, music, and the arts nestled in a gorgeous lakeside home in the middle of the Northern Ontario bush. I will always admire Judith and remember her fondly. With love, (niece) Kristen
