I met her in the early 90's. Me and a friend of mine, who was a really huge fan of hers, went to see her perform in Milwaukee. After the show I asked my friend if she wanted to see if we can meet her.

My friend looked nearly shocked at the proposal. "Do you think they'd let us?"

I shrugged. "It won't hurt to ask."

So I found a stage hand and asked if we could meet Judy. He went backstage and came back a couple of minutes later and confirmed we could meet her.

My friend was just lovestruck. She immediately sat next to Judy and said "Oh my God I love you so much, thank you for meeting us!"

The two hit it off and became friends that night. Judy was SO sweet in person, which at first I found surprising because her comedy can get downright acerbic at times.

RIP to the Goddess of Love, you were unforgettable
