This article is excellent. I have forwarded it to my family in NY to help spread the word. I know Maureen Sanchez personally. She is a wonderful, strong woman, and I am so proud of her for everything she is doing for her sister. Maureen, you, your family and your sister especially are always in my prayers.

Jaclyn, thank you. Thank you for giving Judy a face and a name. We first talked on Judy’s 50th birthday, and my birthday is upcoming on Sunday. You can’t imagine how impactful this story is to us, to Judy, and to the families of the missing. Even, like Judy, for so many years. THANK YOU! And please, anyone reading, do look at NamUs.gov and see if your loved one is there. I hope this story helps get the word out about its existence for so many families that are suffering.

No matter how insignificant your information may seem to you, please come forward with it. I promise it won’t be ignored or brushed off. Thank you!

HUGE HUGE thank you to Jaclyn Gallucci for writing this article. I had tears streaming down my face reading it. we need more articles like this so we can educate the public on what the families of the missing face. Even after 5-10-15-20-30+ years down the road the impact of the trauma they face is just as great as it was the minute they knew their loved one was missing. The trauma does not go away until there are answers.

Maureen Sanchez, Judy’s sister, is a member on a site I am an administrator on, Peace4 the Missing (http://peace4missing.ning.com) Thank you for bringing more awareness to Judy’s case and to what the families face. Thank you for interviewing Jan Smolinski who is also a member and friend on Peace4. And, thank you so much for including information on NamUs.gov If anyone reading here would like to help us strenghten NamUs, Jan Smolinski is the force behind Billy’s Law. We need more House and Senate cosponsors! A template letter with House and Senate contacts by state may be found on Peace4 at: http://tinyurl.com/6fpcvcc
