This message is for the friends and loved ones of Judy Torregrossa.
My name is Tom, and I am one of the many die-hard members of the YMCA early morning workout crowd who knew and loved Judy. Everyone in our group was touched by her infectious personality—full of fun, laughter, and an energy that could light up any room.
I was with Judy on that fateful morning when she had her stroke. She was telling a joke, laughing with that mischievous sparkle in her eyes. At first, I thought she was playfully pretending to misstep, but in an instant, I realized it was something much more serious. As we later learned, she never recovered.
In my heart, I believe Judy left this world just as she lived her life—filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth she so freely shared with others. We will always carry her memory in our hearts.
Rest in peace, my dear friend.

Judy was a wonderfully joyful presence at the St. Petersburg YMCA, and everywhere else she went. She was a friend to everyone. She always had a smile, a laugh, and a quick line. She will be terribly missed by all who knew her.
My deepest sympathy to all of her family.
