I’ve known and loved Judy for the 54 years that she and Ron were married. When we all lived in KC, I loved babysitting Mark and having many sleepovers. Judy and I grew up together, going out to dinner and dancing. She was always happy and we were usually laughing and cooking new dishes together. Judy was always there for me and I learned so much from her. I don’t think I’ve ever known a more easy —going and patient person. She was the sister I always wanted and I’ll miss her terribly. Ron and Mark, I’m always just a text away, please let me know if I can help in any way. I love you both,
