I am honored to have worked with Judy Cockerton at Treehouse in Easthampton, MA.  Judy’s vision and determination were ultimately the reason why Treehouse exists today and will continue to serve children (and elders) in need.  Judy cared for the community members like they were family, and the community center as if it were her home.  Decorations were always laid out with a personal touch, and everyone received her warmth and kindness.  She was the ultimate spokesperson for youth and families who were navigating the State’s child welfare system and for the Foundation.  She has created a lasting legacy and will be missed.
