Judy Wieder was a dear friend of ours.

Judy and Al were our first and best friends in San Diego.  For 20 years we were snow birds to SD from Pittsburgh, Pa.  Chuck retired at an early age and we came to experience the "clement" weather we heard about.  When we visited the JCC in La Jolla and said we were bridge players, Judy DeVries introduced us to Judy and Al.  And that was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. 
The four of us would go to Pat Boney's classes, play golf, and meet with the Sciffman's for dinner and bridge many, many times.  
Just four of us got together many many times for bridge, dinner, lunch, the Movie/Dinner group and other activities and events.
Judy and Al included us in their family occasions, which we treasured. 
We loved, love them both.
Since your blog is about Judy, we want to say how wonderful of a friend she was, herself.   She was a great listener.  That is so rare to find. 
And when she spoke it was always with good nature, and good information.  For example I remember specifically she said that when I do my exercises, I should do them slowly and with purpose.   I follow her directions up to today. 
Judy (and Al) was a devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother and we "kvelled" with them about the wonderful things you are doing.
We wish you "Yoshar Koach," go from strength to strength.
And have good luck and happiness in all your endeavors. 
Love, Barbara and Chuck
