    We were cousins in Pittsburgh and our families would often get together, as my Mother, Mercedes, and her older sister, my Aunt Kitty, were very close. I remember Judy as clever, very funny, sarcastic, and high-energy. I'm so sorry that we have lost her. To her family, to Adrienne and Tom and their families, my thoughts and love go out to you.
