From Pat Hagenmaier: As I grew up I always thought of Bill + Judy as
uncle and aunt rather than first cousins because of the almost 20 years
age difference. So she was always an
adult - I never got to watch her grow
up like I did my other first-cousins. I'm sad about her passing away, she
lived a good life and with Art raised a good family.
