Judy Hazel Fernandez Date of Birth: January 6, 1974 Department: Human Resources Position: Benefits Specialist Judy was born on January 6, 1974 in Dagupan City, Philippines and with her mom, brother and sister, came to the United States on June 12, 1976. She started her kindergarten in Parsippany and attended grade school at Emma Arleth, high school at Sayreville War Memorial High and Rutgers University where she majored in Biology. Prior to her joining Cantor Fitzgerald as an HR Specialist, she worked for Solomon Smith Barney and Metuchen Bank. She had always wanted to work in New York City, not only because of the prestige of being a New Yorker, but also for the excitement that New York brings. Judy was a very special daughter that a parent could ever hope for. Truly, she was a precious gift from Heaven. She was kind, amiable, affable, compassionate and very gentle in her disposition. Above all, she was a caring, ever-loving and thoughtful daughter. Judy was very supportive and protective of her family. She stood on solid ground to defend her family from whoever tried to malign the clan. Judy was also a classic example of fair play and straightforwardness. She did not want people unjustly treated. And, she had no regard for people who are abusive. All her life, she truly believed in the Motto, “Don’t do unto others, what you don’t want others to do unto you.” To her friends, Judy stood all head and shoulders. She was extremely compassionate to them. She listened to their problems, and if help was needed, she was always ready to help in any way. Our Judy was instinctively an intuitive person. She knew and felt when you were down. And she was always around to give words of encouragement, support and comfort to lift a sagging spirit. Now, our special Judy is gone, but her beautiful memories will linger on and live forever…. We love you Judy very much and you will be terribly missed. Love, Pops (Fernandez)

Judy – We miss u & wish we were able to get closer. You were always sweet, caring & always there. I miss talking & laughing w/ u at our gatherings. We’ll never forget u. Send hugs & kisses to C.Juny from me & the family. Luv ~TIM~
Judy, we all miss you more so on Holidays w/ your nieces & nephews. You always have a very sweet smile . You are such a caring person & I could never forget the baptism of Ashley that it was snow storm & you were there. You are a very dependable child & we surely miss you . We’ll never forget you. Love, Tita Mita & Tito Vic & cousins
It has already been five months since we last saw you and still in our minds, it is hard to believe that our precious “baby” is no longer with us physically. Almost every night, I shed tears at the thought that you have been stripped of the beautiful life that was ahead of you…at the fact that we couldn’t continue the mature sister bond that we were developing…at the fact that I didn’t have the chance to tell you that I love very much and that I am proud, so proud of all your accomplishments and lastly, at the fact that I will no longer see you and that big beautiful smile of yours until sometime. The tears will continue to come as days go by, but I know that these tears will be of more joy that you are in heaven with God and the rest of our families and that you safe and free of any more evil and knowing that that you are still smiling and will be guiding over us every day of our lives. I miss you tremendously and I love you very much! Love Ate…”peace” as you would say!
Judy, how we wish you were here today. We wish now that we had seen you more. We wish we had told you things that we wanted to say. We wish that day had never come. You were the one that helped me see the love that I had for the one person who eventually became my wife. You were the one that “made” me call her back as we broke apart. You will be the one that I see in my son’s eyes as he grows each day. Judy, thank you for being you. We miss and love you forever more.
Judy,
There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about you. I remember the little Judy that was always dancing, laughing, and playing who than blossomed to an independent young woman with a strong will, confidance, and a little bit of Judy attitude 🙂
The family came together from all over … Neil & Donna, Arlene & Jae, Carol & Suzy, Reuben, Beverly, Martha, & Cooky…You are sorely missed by all of us but you will never be forgotten.
Watch over your Mom, Dad, Rich & Emma because they miss you so much.
You are our angel…. Marjorie
my little sis, words can not describe the hurt and shock we have gone through. not a single day has pass without me thinking of you. i miss you so much. as tears flow, i remember all the happy days we shared together and keep all those precious memories close to my heart — it is what keeps me going. you have touched me in so many ways and i have been so fortunate to have you in my life. you are truly a gift from god – a guardian angel.
My poem in tribute to Judy and Marites
God saw He needed assistance
A help could not be found
So he put his arms around Judy and Marites
And whispered come to ME
With tearful eyes we hoped and prayed
For their safe return
Although we loved them dearly
We could not make them stay
A Golden Heart stopped beating
Hard working souls at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only Takes the Best
Judy, you are the best. i miss, i love you and I will meet you again.
Judy,
It’s been a while, too long. I guess I’ve waited too long to let you know how much I missed you . Thanks for all my childhood memories, growing pains that we were. I’ll never forget our sticker collection and our bff club. I will never forget how special you made me feel every time you wrote me a letter telling me that you were my best friend. I am nostalgic for the days when you, Maritess, and I used to play as young girls. Please look after us.
Love Cheryl
Jude,
There are days that I still can’t believe this has happened to you. I know we weren’t as close over the last few years, but I keep the picture of our last time together framed in my house. This country has not forgotten the horrible tragedy that took you away from us. You, along with all those killed on Sept. 11th, will always live in our hearts. My family misses you and we hope to see you again someday. I will never forget you and all the great times we shared.
Love,
Kye
Dear Judy. first time I met you I said boy she’s beautiful and as time went by I realized you were beautiful inside and out thanks for being a friend and always helping me out when I needed help.Thanks
Dearest Judy,
For that one summer, wv was too much fun. You were definitely and will always be my sister’s coolest friend 🙂 The time i spent with you was short but so memorable. I will never forget your sweet smile, your laughter, your attitude, your beauty, your warmth, your kind spirit. It was an honor knowing you. Rest in peace.
Judy,
I know that we weren’t that close, but I know that things would be okay when we started finally talking and those times we bumped into each other or hang out. When I found out about this tragedy, I prayed so hard that you & Maritess would be found. Luckily my Dad came with me to all your Masses to give me support. That horrible tragedy that took place on Sept. 11th had some affect on me & I will never forget you.
Judy,
Years had passed between us and it appeared by luck we would see each other again. I remember our conversation so clearly only days before. The enthusiasm in your voice spoke volumes in wanting to introduce me to your boyfriend, to meet my wife Melissa and hold little Nereo (Odin). Also your pride in your life’s direction and your happiness in your own relationship with your family really shined through.
Though shock, anger and sadness were all first reactions that stirred within me that day, I know now that our last phone calls were a blessing. I am thankful that the powers that be gave me something I did not deserve, a last exchange of “I love you” with a family member. Thank you for calling me and sharing your joy with me. I will, we will never forget you. You will be a constant reminder to the family to stay in touch more, for life is precious and we should spend it well.
Let your light (and smile) show us the way.
Judy, my dear,
You are being terribly missed. It is very hard to think/believe that you are not with us. Things have not been the same. I can’t stop crying thinking about you, about all the very good things you have done not only for us but to your friends as well. You were always there when needed. I remember when I was in the hospital, you came home quickly to be with me and you were very concerned upon seeing me with all the tubes in my nose. You stayed with me that night and refused to leave until I asked you. That was the sweetest gift you have ever given me Jude and I will never forget that. I love you so much and I still cannot believe you are not with us, but I know that you are watching over us as you are an angel now.
Judy was born two weeks before her due date and even though she only weighed 5 lbs at birth she was a very healthy child. Everyone said that she was a beautiful baby and looked angelic. She grew up with a strong belief that everything is possible as long as the sun shines. Judy is a very caring, helpful, thoughtful and above all a God fearing daughter. She will always be remembered for that. Judy, we celebrated your 28th birthday with a mass at St. Bernadette with some relatives and friends and Father George’s homily was about your goodness. We went to Crown Palace, your favorite, after. Luv you much, missed you. Will see you.
I had the sincere privilege of knowing Judy for several years. She was beautiful, funny, outgoing, and one of a kind. I feel so blessed to have had her in my life. Of all the memories that play in my mind, the one I’ll cherish most is the night of September 10, 2001. All the girls had come together for a “girls’ night”. We sat around admiring my sister’s recent wedding pictures, celebrated a friend’s engagement, and helped Judy pack for her planned business trip to Arizona. Judy was just as high-spirited and energetic as she always was that night. She even insisted on playing a practical joke on Na. That was Judy, so funny and outgoing. But mostly, I’ll forever cherish our hug before we left her apartment that night and our last words together: “Have a safe trip Judes, I’ll miss you”.
Judes, I do miss you tremendously. We all do. I think about you every day, wishing you were here. I speak on behalf of all the girls when I say that we are so grateful to your family for their support and their open arms. Though you are not with us physically anymore, your spirit is still with us and all the wonderful memories of you bring us comfort and joy. Thanks Judes for being a wonderful friend to me over the years. I love you & I miss you so much. Give a big hug to Marites for me.
My love, I miss you! I don’t know what else to say. Words cannot explain how much I want you back! We all miss you, dearly. You are loved by so many people and have touched many lives. Your love was greatly appreciated!
Never in a million years would I think this would ever happen. It’s so strange how God can introduce someone so beautiful to the world, and in an instant, just take it away. But I try not to think about the tragedy, but all the wonderful memories we shared together. The beautiful vacations, spending time at the beach or going to dinner and everything else we did! I’m going to miss those days, but I will cherish those precious days for the rest of my life.
Judy, I consider myself to be lucky. Lucky to know such a beautiful person. Lucky and fortunate to have you as a part of my life. I’ve been blessed!! I don’t know how I’ve stayed strong through all this heartache, but I will continue to stay strong for your family, and for you Judy, because I know in my heart, that’s how you would want me to be.
I still remember when I dropped you off that morning, when I kissed you good-bye, and I’m so glad I got to tell you “I love you” one last time. But there was one thing I didn’t get to say to you Judy, which I was saving for one special day…
Love you always and forever!!!
Judy, you are terribly missed by so many. Especially by the Plamenco family. I was the Plamenco boy who always joked around with you about marrying Jon and embarrased you in front of Mom and Dad. I remember telling you that I did it because you were the best thing that ever happened to Jon. Well, you still are. You have such a strong spirit and it’s rubbed off on him. You’ve made him a better person.
We all miss you at friday night dinner with the family. You always said grace with T.C., always sat at the same spot at the table, always helped mom clean up, always laughed at my jokes, even my mom’s crazy jokes from the internet and played endlessly with T.C. and Lola. It’s not the same without you, but I know you’re still with us. I know you’ll watch over us and keep us strong when times are tough. We love you dearly.
Till we meet again.
Tommmy, Lisa,T.C. and Lola
Judes,
There is an inner beauty about you that I don’t think I’ll ever get over. Your exterior was just a front and I am so happy I got to know who you really are. You are one of the most caring and generous people I know. It’s rare to see someone who truly looks out for their family and friends but as long as I’ve known you… you have been true blue. A friend like you is hard to find and can never be replaced. We never got too sentimental about those things but I just wanted to let you know that Ferd and I miss you so much!!! There were times you were like a big sister to all of us- (John, Darren, Vic, and Ferd)always keeping us in check!!! Especially the guys!! We’re all lost without you and Ma-tess!! No one to make up nicknames or stupid games to pass the time. You are the sweetest girl and I am honored to have been your friend. Love and kisses to you… and I look foward to meeting again. I love you.

Judes-
I prayed for you today and I hope you heard me. I was at Eagle Rock Reservations admiring the tribute of the 6 month anniversary at the World Trade Center site. I left a picture of you and Marites there and lit candles for you both.
So many people stopped to admire your beauty and remember your faces.
I miss you so much.
Love you,
Michelle
Hey Sis,
We (dad, mom, ems, tim and some friends) were at the site to commemorate the 6 month anniversary. As I looked up in the sky during the lighting ceremory I thought of you and how you lit up everyone’s spirits. I know that you are with us always spiritually, so please look out for dad, mom and the family. We miss you much…Rich
Judy was the most friendly person in HR. She would always stop by Windows on the World on Thursdays to have a drink and say hello to everyone. Her smile lit up the room as it does in the picture above. That’s how I choose to remember Judy.
Her family is in my prayers…
Judes,
Reality is settling in that you are no longer with us and it is so so painful. I don’t want to be a downer because as a person you are always positive. I just miss you. We have no private place to mourn or to just talk to you so I hope you hear me now. Love you Judes!
Our dear Niece, Judy,
Judy, last night, we celebrated Maritess’ 28th birthday anniversary at home. Your Mom and Dad were there with Gina and the group. You and Maritess were so missed by all the relatives and friends who were present. The priest who officiated in the celebration of the mass told us to pray for both of you and to both of you. You are now the guardians that will guide us to eternity. But you know what, I truly missed my niece with her very strong personality and beautiful face. I missed your greetings when you go to our house to see Maritess and say, Hello “totox.” As you and Maritess had kept watch on each other while on earth, do the same thing in heaven. We know that the two of you are much stronger when you join hands together. Your Mom and Dad are feeling the pangs of your demise, but both are OK as well as your Kuya Rich and Ate Emma. John P. and Darren are trying their very best to cope with the situation.
Judy, again, we truly missed you and Maritess!! So long until all us see each other in the other world.
Tito Ex
Judes,
I finally have the courage to write to you – I miss you Judes – We all miss you!!!! A year from today I will be getting married to Geelord as you would pronouce his name. You really liked Geelord for me – Geelord all the way! Judes, no fair – you’re one of my bridesmaid, I know you’ll be watching as always – don’t let me trip on my dress. Gaylord & I miss you – I can still hear you laugh, hear you try to talk Tagalog and still picture your face w/ your sweet smile.
Thanks Judes for being my friend and my older sister. Thanks for bugging me to go back to school (I did it!), for hooking me up with jobs, for staying on the phone ’till I fall asleep, for introducing me to Cali friends, for believing in me, for your support, your love and for all the wonderful memories. You made a big difference in my life, I will never forget you. You are forever kept in my heart.
Tito and Tita – sorry it took me this long to write but it’s just so hard. We all miss Judes!
WE LOVE YOU JUDES!
Judes “our guardian angel”
All my love,
Glen
Judes – my dad says “hi”
Hugs and Kisses to you and Maritess
Jude,
They say that time heals wound but in my case, it has been a very slow painful process. As each morning passes, I look at your picture, blow a kiss and wish so much that you are still with us. The thought still breaks my heart. It hasn’t and never will be the same. We MISS YOU so much.
Jude, with the 1st anniversary fast approaching, I can’t help but reminisce. It pains me that I was so helpless but I try not to think about that tragic day but rather the great times we had together while you were with us. It just seemed like yesterday. The images are so clear; the picture of us leaving the airport to move to the US, our holiday get together with relatives, family trips around the country and Canada. I have been blessed to share those happy times with you and keep all those precious memories close to my heart — it is what mends my broken heart and what helps me get through some days.
A few days from now, we along with Uncle Ex and Esther and cousins will be gathering at the WTC site. It has been difficult road for both families. I know that you and Marites will be with us spiritually so please pray and give us the strength. Look out for Dad and Mom. I love you and miss you. Rich
Judy,
It’s been one year, and I still find it so hard to believe that you are no longer with us. Everyone misses you so much!! It’s beautiful Judes, all the tributes that they have just about everywhere. I just came back from one in honor of you and Maritess. I sat there and just stared at a picture of two beautiful girls, so full of life, and reflected on all the memories I have of you, the fondest being that of my wedding day last year. I could remember walking into the church and you were one of the first people whom I had made eye contact with… I was so nervous at that point, but once I looked around at you and the rest of my family and friends I felt a huge sigh of relief, and relaxed from that point on, and had such a wonderful time.
I miss seeing that face.. I will hold onto the memories forever, and I will continue to pray for you, Maritess and your families. Miss you!
Love,
Melissa
Just checking up on you sis. A lot has happened the last couple of months. Emma and Tim finally got married in Bermuda. Yep, it should be no surprised that they would do something out of the ordinary but that’s our sis. In general, it was a happy occasion although with mixed emotions (it was painful to see Pa cry at the rehearsal dinner). The ceremony was beautiful and it was nice to finally see Dad, Mom and Emma smile. Oh – how we all wish that you were here with us to celebrate that special day. You definitely would have been a beautiful bride’s maid of honor. Anyway, the holidays and your b-day are fast approaching. I went past Bebe’s knowing that would have been the first department store I would have gone to pick out your gifts. It’ll be our last xmas in Sayreville since Mom and Dad will be moving to a new house. Uncle Ex will be our close neighbor so it will be a nice change. Well, we miss you much. Love Rich
Hi Judy, I still can’t believe that you’re not here with us. There hasn’t been a day that I haven’t thought about you. I think of you constantly! I only wish that I could pick up the phone and hear your voice one more time. I miss you!!!
I finally quit my job! Aren’t you happy! Normally, I would ask you for some advice, but I know that’s what you would want me to do. So now, I’m studying to get my real estate license and will be working in the city. Ever since Sept.11, I said to myself I would never work there again. I get too emotional whenever I pass ground zero. But this is something I need to do, for me and you, and I know you’ll be cheering me on!!!
I love you Judy, and miss you dearly! Keep watching over me, and T.C. and Lola, as well as Tommy and Joel!
I’ll talk to you later….
Judes –
What a long year it has been. A year filled with many mixed emotions – the 9/11 anniversary, your sister’s wedding, Thanksgiving, birthdays, and soon Christmas. How we wish you were still here with us. We all miss you dearly Judes, but we know you are always with us in spirit. You are always in our thoughts and prayers Judy. Please continue to watch over us. Merry Christmas my dear friend.
Judy,
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU. We always we miss you, especially without you and Maritess the Christmas is not complete. You are always in our prayer. God Bless You.
Love,
Tito Roger / Tita Linda
Hi Judes, It’s the eve before Christmas and I believe it or not I am actually baking cookies. I’m not much of a baker as you are so wish me luck. I’ve been shopping for awhile now and I would always think of the things that I would have bought you. So the recipient of presents this year is Brookie. She will get a red sweater to match the red and yes green ribbon that mom has glued (don’t be mad) to her head; I also got her a long leash so that mom and pop don’t have to run fast to keep up with her pace, some bacon snackies and pee pee pad. Mom and Pop were in their new home and wouldn’t you know it, Brooke does #1 and then #2. You better talk to her. Anyway, I lite your candles that Mom made for your 1 year anniversary. It’s me saying hello, I love you and I miss you. I hope that you can see it. Please be with the family tonight and tomorrow as we not so much celebrate but rather gather together. Keep that beautiful smile. I love you so much Judes! Love Ate
Hi Judes: It is 12:30 am and I just wanted to wish you a very good New Years! I love you and miss you! Ate Emma P.S. The family will be here tomorrow for a New Year’s Brunch. I know that you will be with us in Spirit. Luv ya again!
Hi Judes,
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Happy New Year Judes!!! Thinking of you today on your Happy Bday. Your close friends will be coming over tonite to celebrate with family after mass. I really miss you a lot especially this time of year. I wish there is some other place to visit you and Marites other than ground zero but you know I’ll always be thinking of you. Love you my little sis.
Hi Judes: It’s the pain again. Just wishing you a Happy Birthday. We have a prayer mass tonight at St. Bernadette’s for your b-day. Please be with us. Luv ya, ATS
Hi Judes –
Thinking of you on your birthday.
Miss you so much.
Hi Judes: Thinking about you and wanted to just write to you to tell you the funniest thing that happened with Brook. Although she still peeps all over the place, she has gotten more affectionate towards me. I was over at mom’s and pop’s laying on the bed and she just kept on tackling me for no reason, making me laugh so hard. I tried to run away from her but she just jumped on my back and wouldn’t back off. You have to be there to see how funny it was. I know that this may be silly writing you but just wanted to share a good moment w/ you. Miss you very much and luv ya! Ats.
Hi Judy,
I just want to let you know I’m thinking of you and that you are truly missed!
Things are going well here for me, especially with work and everything else. Just knowing that you are always by my side gives me the strength to move on. Thanks! I love you!!!
Hi sis,
Letting you know you are in my thoughts especially Marites bday. We miss you both so much. Your sister’s surgery went well and on her way to recovery. I thought about both of you that day. She’s strong and will win this battle. I’m sure you and Marites were looking out for her. Well, dad and mom are finally moving out to our new home. It’s a little difficult to leave Sayreville but it’s for the best. Miss you and love you so much. Rich
Hi Jude,
We are approaching the second year anniversary. Been thinking of you especially these last few days. We all miss you and Marites so much and think how much we wish you were with us. Love you sis. Rich
Judes, In a few days, it would be 2 years since we last spoke and saw you. Your beautiful voice, face and memories of you are still strong in my mind and will always be until I see you again. I hope you hear me talking to you and praying for you. I love you so much. Please be with us on Thursday. Luv, Ate.
Dearest Judy, I will not be able to make is to Ground Zero tomorrow with the family. Just wanted to let you know to please be with us. A mass prayer is being said tomorrow in St. John the Evangelist Church in Philadelphia and St. Martin Church in New Hope. I love you! Love Ate.
Hi Judes, I just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. January 6, 2004, you would have celebrated your 30th birthday. Happy Birthday baby sister!!!! We love you and miss you so much! Love Ate.
Hi lil sis,
christmas and new year just isn’t the same without that smile. the family photos without you and Marites didn’t seemed right. Well, we miss you much. Happy bday too!! Love you. Rich
Happy Birthday, Judy! WOW… 30yrs. old… we’re all getting old! All the girls and I visited your family and went to mass on sunday to pray for you. We also went to your parents house afterwards. I looked through a photo album of yours and I can only say that you are the most beautiful person I have ever known. You are definitely an angel… my angel!!! And I’m so lucky! I always wonder what life would be like if you’re still here with us… but all I can say is that I miss you very much and think about you every single day! I LOVE YOU JUDY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hey Judes! Thinking about you on your birthday! We all miss you!
Hi Judy!
Just want to wish my sister-in-law a happy birthday! Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you! Till we meet again!
Hi Judy: As I read through the previous tributes, I feel like I had a chance to get to know you. If you don’t remember me…I’m the chubby little girl from Maureen’s Danceworks circa 1985 or earlier. We were more recently reunited in front of a club in NYC — a party thrown by Jon’s brother, Peter. You recognized me and said to Vinny (my boyfriend at the time and husband now), “I went to dancing school with her.” And after you said that, I remembered immediately who you were. I particularly remembered one of our dance recitals. I remember thinking to my 8-year old self, “look how cool and pretty she is.” We never developed a friendship or got to know one another, but after getting to know you through these tributes, I wish we did. You are a very special person to many very special people and it’s so nice to know a little more. Happy Birthday!
happy birthday judes! i miss you at family dinner on friday nights. you’d be proud of me sis. i’ve lost 20 pounds so far and my goal is to be 200 pounds by my birthday. your my inspiration!!!! pretty soon i’ll be wearin jon’s
clothes. the one’s you bought him!!!!
love you always!!!
budes
Happy Birthday Judy!!!!

Judy,
Thinking of you now and always especially on your birthday.
Miss you

Just wishing my sweet beautiful baby sister a Happy Valentines Day. I love you and miss you very much!
Hey judes- i think about you all the time. We miss you so much!! There are so many things happening in everyone’s lives but you’re still a part of it all. Just wanted to send my love and let you know how much we love you.
les
Judes, we all miss you and wish you were here w/ us. xoxoxo ‘823’
Hi Jude,
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years. We were at ground zero on 9/11/04 and we miss you so much. My heart still aches. How I wish I (we) had one last chance to see you, talk to you and hug you. You will always be with us. Love you. Rich
Dearest Judy, It’s almost a week before Christmas 2004 – our third Christmas without you. It’s so different now and always will be. I will not dwell on sad memories rather, I will think of all the happy times that we all shared as a family. Even though you are not going to be with us physically, I know that you will be with us in spirit and looking over us – our little angel! We love you and miss you so so much! Merry Christmas to you and Maritess!
Love, Ate
Hi Judy,
I visited your family on Christmas, and it was really nice to see everyone. And even Brooke still remembers me! It still hits me hard that you’re not there to celebrate the holidays, but I know that you’re there in spirit! I also went into your room and looked at all your pictures. Every now and then I feel sorry for myself, but when I see your face along with your beautiful smile, I realize that I am one of the luckiest persons in the world. Merry Christmas Judy and please bless me for the New Year 2005! Talk to you soon…
hey judes –
thinking of you during the holiday season. we miss you so much. you are thought of often, and you’re always in our hearts.
love you
Hi Judy,
I’m alway’s thinking about you! Happy Birthday!!!
Love you…
Hi Judes
Happy birthday! Thinking of you and saying a prayer for you. Miss you.
love, michelle
Hi Judes, We celebrated papa’s 70th birthday this past weekend. It was a good day. First I thought that he was mad (as usual) and later on I found out that he was not mad but rather sad, very sad that you were not there and also that he turned 70th battling aneurism. His heart is broken, as it the rest of the family, but we have to keep on thinking about all the good memories that you have given us to keep us going. I KNOW that you were there celebrating along w/ us. Look over pop and mom and Kuya, ok? Love you! Ats.
Dear Judy,
Hello to my sweet niece!! Well, I’d like to tell you that we jast came from the Philippines for a brief vacation. Tita Tessie and all our relatives were asking about you and Maritess. We missed you som much. I hope that you and Maritess are together all the time in heaven as you were on earth.
Love you,

Dearest Judy,
This Holiday Season marks the 4th year without you…it’s not the same nor will it ever be. This year, relatives spent early Christmas Eve at our house. Ma, Pa, Kuya, Liza, Tim and I attended midnight mass at St. John’s where a special prayer was devoted to you and Maritess.
2006 will bring in a joy to the family with the addition of your niece in April. We still don’t have a first name but she will have your name as her middle name. Look over her to make sure she is healthy and happy. Tim & I will be visiting the family center tomorrow to wish you a Happy 31st Birthday. We love you very much and miss you immensely. Love, Ate

Dearest Judy,
It is Christmas Eve 2007…just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of and missing you even more so. Holidays are never the same (never will be) without you. I know that you will be with us in spirit. Merry Christmas Judy!

Dearest Judes,
Wishing you a Happy New Year (08) and also Happy Birthday. With all my love, Ate.
Hi sis,
Shortly, we will be visiting WTC for the 7th anniversary of the attack. We miss you more than ever. A lot of great things have happened since I last wrote you. For starters, I married a wonderful lady in Liza. You definitely would have bonded well with her. She takes care of me. Secondly, Avery came into this world. She is so lovable and looks just like mommy. She and Emily are Pa and Ma’s bundle of joy. Thirdly, VL and Talya are new proud parents of Rocco Expedito. I’m sure Marites would have been proud of her little brother. We only wish you and Marites were here to celebrate with us but we know you are proud of us. We miss you and love you.
Daer Judy,
How are you Judy! We missed you badly but knowing you are with Maritess is a big relief for all of us. It’s hard to believed it’s been 7 years since that fateful morning. How time flits by.
Vic and Talya just had a baby boy–his name is Rocco Expedito.
So long and we love you!!

Hey Judes,
We miss you sooo much and still wish you were here with us. Gaylord & I have a baby boy…Derek Junn (after Derek Jeter). He arrived on Mar. 26, 7.4lbs 20 1/4in. He has my nose, ears, fingers & toes. He has Gaylord’s eyes & mouth. He loves it when I read to him and enjoys watching Noggin, Yanks, ESPN, Oprah and Ellen. We’re lucky to have you as his “guardian angel”, pls. continue to watch over him.
This Thursday, the girls are meeting up at Van Gogh’s. I still remember the time we (me, you, Gi & Mare)were there during our college yrs. you were doing your work & next thing you know your paper got caught on fire (nice one Judes). Just 1 of our many crazy times together. I’m just grateful you came into my life and shared many happy memories which I will never forget & will stay with me forever. xoxoxo love you & miss you.

Dear Judy,
Last week we attended the 9th memorial service for the victims of the 9/11 WTC attack with your Dad,Mom and other relatives and friends. Tim, Emma’s husband, was one of the readers as well as your Tita Ester. Both of them did a goo job. We all missed you and Maritess, specially your sweet smiles and captivating laughters. You know what, your Kuya Richard and his wife Lisa, had their first baby—Derck Christian is his name. So long and we will write you again.
Love,
Tito Ex, Tita Ester
and family
Dear Judy,
Your parents as well as Rich & family, Emma & family, including the entire Santillan clan will be at GZ to attend the 10th 9/11 Memorial Service. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since
you and Maritess suffered that terrible attack. All of us missed you and will never forget your memories. Be with Maritess all the time.

Hi Judes.
Over the years I’ve been wanting to write to you but just couldn’t find the words. Even after 10 years, I still want to keep asking “WHY”?!!! It’s just not fair. Judes, I wish you were still here. I miss all the fun things we use to do with the girls. I do look back & I feel very fortunate to have had you as a friend. I’m glad we met, got to work with each other back in the days at the billing office and had gotten closer & closer through the years. Eventhough you were only a couple of months older, you always acted like an older sister, very caring, generous & always giving me tips-especially beauty tips. Do you know you were the one who taught me how to properly blow dry my hair making the perfect curl at end. I always think about you when I’m getting ready in the morning :-). Judes, there are so many things I miss about you. Among all the many nice things you’ve done- the one thing I can’t forget was one night after coming home (to Budah’s house I believe) from a Haloween costume party in the city (we were dressed up us cavewomen- i’m sure you’ll remember that :-)) we were all tired so I fell asleep on the couch. I remember being cold but was way too tired to bother to get a blanket or even ask anyone to get it for me. But the nurturing person that you are got a blanket and covered me up with it like a mom tucking in her child. You really were such a caring person. I wish Matt & my kids could have met Tita Judy. I know how much you loved kids & I know you would have been a great mother. Judes, I could go on & on just like when we use to talk on the phone especially when we would confenrence in all the girls. Judes, I hope you know that this experience of losing a friend like you has really helped me have a broader prospective in life which in turn makes me always try to strive to be a better person. Judes, I will never forget! Miss you!
Happy Birthday Judy….thinking of you…..

Hey Judy,
It’s Friday, April 19, 2013. This was a good week, celebrating Emily’s 7th birthday on 4/17 and Ate Liza’s birthday today. I so much miss you and wish you were here. There was bombing in Boston that killed people including an 8 yr old boy. It just brought back memories. I know that you are safe in the hands of God. Luv you much Judes.. forever in my hear and mind Ate Emma
Hi Judy,
I wish you were still here Judes! As I take my girls to dance class today, I can’t help but think and wonder how many kids you would have had. I know you wanted lots of babies. Miss you Judes!!!
