  1. Judy was my sister. As sisters do, we argued, disagreed, and laughed together. I will miss her so very much. I have memories that I cannot share with anyone except Judy. This is one of my favorite memories that I frequently reminded her of:
    Judy was at Ball State studying to be a teacher, I was in 7th grade. There was a buffalo farm somewhere between Indianapolis and Muncie, IN. When we passed the buffalo farm Judy would talk about all the buffali.
    One day in English class the teacher had to leave for a few minutes, so to keep us busy she wrote several words on the blackboard and asked us to write the plural of the words. One of the words was “buffalo”. I very quickly volunteered and wrote “buffali” on the blackboard. The other kids kept saying no, no, that’s wrong, it’s “buffaloes”. I informed them that it was NOT wrong because my sister told me it was buffali and she’s going to be a teacher.
    Over the years as I repeated the event to Judy, I always told her I was so embarrassed and that she ruined me for life. We always laughed about this story.

    I’ll miss Judy more than words can say. Her laughter, love, and presence leave a space no one else can fill.
