Ron,
I am so sorry for your loss of Judi. She helped me several times when I was at Sanford more than 10 years ago so I knew she was married to an Ethanite. Always very pleasant and helpful.

I am heartbroken to hear of Judi’s passing. We have been connecting through Facebook messaging for several years and have had some very heartfelt conversations. She was a classmate of my late husband, Ed Lee, and a sister to my classmate, Karen. Ron, Ric and Karen you have my deepest sympathy.

I was honored to be Judy's stylist at Stewart's Cut Hut. I always enjoyed our visits, her quick wit & delightful sense of humor.
We lost touch when l left to start my own salon, but l remember her fondly.

Sending my deepest condolences to Ron and family. I enjoyed Judi in high school and it has been really good to reconnect in Rapid City. May you find comfort in all of the good times you shared.
