Missing Judy today on her birthday. I am doing my best to channel her innovation and creativity as I continue to navigate my way through work without the support of her expertise and friendship. When faced with the most challenging cases, I pause and ask myself, "What would Judy do?" Inevitably, I am inspired and soldier on.

As I was gathered with colleagues to kick off another school year, we took a moment to remember how blessed we are all were to have called Judy both a colleague and friend. When asked each one what they cherished most about Judy, they all responded by making comments that touched on her dedication to her students, our profession, and, her family, as well as making the work place fun. Judy loved to laugh (especially at herself), and had a remarkable way of finding the silver lining in every cloud and a solution to every problem. Judy, you are so missed.

In honor of Judy's birthday, I would like to share a beautiful memory of Judy sharing details about the wonderful birthday dinner she shared with her family at Mill Wright's Restaurant. The weather was perfect, the food superb, and the company more than anything she could have wished for. And the evening was captured by a picture that was used for their family's holiday card that year. You all should know just how much that time with her family filled her soul.

Howard & Children, we are so very sorry for your loss. Judy was a very kind person, and the world is a sadder place without her. May her memory be a blessing.

So, so sad about Judy’s passing, but relieved that she will no longer suffer. Our many years of friendship, since Jessica and Eric were kids, seemed to fly by so quickly. Judy was always there to help me in troubled times. I always loved the days that Judy, LeeAnn, Negest, and I would get together for lunch to catch up on our busy lives. I miss her so much…..

Sending so much love and my deepest condolences to Judy's beautiful, inspiring, heart-centered family. Judy was my very dear cousin, older by 10 years. My earliest memories of her were as vibrant and loving. And laughing. And my latest memories of her, even in the latest stages of ALS, were as vibrant and loving - with her signature smile - real and welcoming and present. She had a special way of making everybody feel seen and loved. Through her radiant smile, her light shone from someplace deep within. And it shined on me too. Judy brought and taught love in her lifetime. She also taught grace and faith. I will always remember her spirit as genuine and light filled, alive and giving. And kind. Grateful to have had Judy as my cousin. I will always always remember and love her.

Judy has played such a pivotal role in my career as a Speech and Language Pathologist. She gave me the guidance and courage to step out on my own and start my own practice (something I was so afraid to do)! Her warmth, care and encouragement was just what I needed. I will be forever grateful for the support she has given me throughout my career. Words cannot express how much of a profound impact she has had on me as a professional as well as in my personal life. Judy you are loved and missed immensely. My deepest condolences to the Rosenfield family.
With love and respect,
Llee Hardy (now Shangase)

Its almost to the day 19 years ago that Judy, Howard and the twins picked me up from Stamford to be their Au pair for a year. It was an amazing year and the Rosenfields welcomed me as a member of their crowd. We stayed in touch ever since.During that year Judy showed me what it means to be open minded and courageous, to stand up for oneself and others. I am so glad that I had the chance to meet her. Learning of her illness struck me hard but i knew she would fight as long as she could. It was just her nature...Learning of her passing and I am so deeply sorry for everone she leaves behind.She was such a strong woman, beautiful person and amazing mother, I will always remember and miss her ...

It was because of you my son is where he is today. You had the courage to stand up for those who could not speak for themselves. Beautiful soul, always a class act. ❤️

Judy was my first supervisor out of college in 1989 at Mount Sinai Hospital. She taught me so much about the field of speech pathology but more importantly, she taught me about compassion, respect, dignity, and to always stand up for what I believe in. We have kept in touch via social media for the past 35 years and I still use much of what she taught me in my daily practice. She has inspired and helped so many. I am so very sorry for your loss.
