Dear McKay and Chloupek families,
I met Judy in the day she and her family moved into the house in North 31st Street. She and the McKay family became my family. I lived each of you as if you really were family. Countless hours were spent in your dining room playing Sorry and Parcheesi as well as the player piano.

We were out of touch for years but exchanged birthday and Christmas cards during more recent years. She and your family will always live in my heart.

I am so sorry for your loss.
Love and blessings,
Marilyn Miller Wood

Judy & I grew up on the same street, N 31 in Lincoln,Ne. I remember the player piano in her home and was always intrigued by the fried potatoes & eggs her mother made, something I had never heard of. Spent many hours at the McKay house.
