I met Judi when she joined my bowing team.  She was always so upbeat and positive.  We helped each other when we were struggling.  If we didn't win she would always say "well we will get them next game."  And if it was the last game she would always say "we will do it next week."  When she was not feeling well she always managed to come to bowling.  I would tell her it wasn't that important but she would say I love bowling and I don't want to miss it.  She inspired us all.  The Monday Morning Ladies and the Open Practice league will be starting soon and I will miss my partner sooo much.  I know that she is there with me though and reminding me not to get too upset and just try harder next time.  I love you and miss you Judi.  Pam White

I remember first meeting Judi at Paramus Park's Pathway Bakery in 1978.  She was a fun, vibrant person to be with.  I remember going to her house in River Edge for get together's, playing cards, sitting with friends and  swimming in the pool.  I was with her the night she met her future husband, Adrian. My husband and I attended her wedding and visited her when she gave birth to Ariella.  She had my bridal shower at her house and was my maid of honor at my wedding.  She was also at my baby shower when I was expecting my son, Vincent and she even was at my son Vincent's Christening a month before her son Aaron was born.  I also remember being at Ariella's bat Mitzvah and even though we lost touch over the years and got back in touch via Face book and she finally told me that she had been sick, still talking to her on Face book, I could still see her smile, and hear the laughter in her voice.  She will be forever remembered and I will always missed her.  Love to her family ~ Adrian, Ariella, Aaron, her parents  and the rest of her family.  This is not good bye ~ but so long till we see each other soon.  Love, Pam, Pete & Vincent Ponte.

 Kevin, my son met Ari when she was was 15, and Ari is still at school with Kevin in Georgia. She introduced him to her parents. Kevin came home and said he adores Ari and she has such great parents, Judi and Adrian and a fun brother. Kevin was close with the whole family. He loved to learn how to cook with Judi who cooked very well. Boys at 16 don't love to cook but he loved cooking with Judi. Kevin spent alot of time at Ari's house. They are wonderful people and there was so much fun in their household.  Judi was always optimistic.
