My name is Dennis Essa and my mother was Delphine Jablonski, older sister to Judy's husband Jim. I remember Christmases in the basement of Grandma and Grandpa J's house, where the siblings grew up. They were crowded, loud and full of fun, often with Uncle Jim and Aunt Judy at the center of it.

When my sister Anna got married, I was in Jr. High and was her photographer. During the reception, Judy came over, made me put the camera down, pulled me out onto the dance floor and taught me how to do the twist. It was my fist dance and as an adolescent boy, a huge challenge and embarrassment, but also a great joy. I hadn't realize it until now, but this sparked my love of dance and I thank her for that.

She brought the best out in people. She is missed.

Jim & Judy, Kim & Karen, wow - those are some of my best childhood memories. Cousin Judy was more of my Aunt Judy, as she was ten years older than me, noting her Uncle Terry (my Dad) was more of a Brother. Every Christmas Eve the O'Hara clan would travel to a place of true wonder - my Uncle Bill's (Judy's Dad) basement bar. Cactus Jack Cocktails and a funny joke cracked way to load from my Cousin Judy was the Best. Kim & Karen - I'm so sorry for your lose, I love your Mother very much and I carrier her humor and charm with me every day. Cousin Terry O'Hara, Jr.

I have so many wonderful memories of my Aunt Judy. She was only 10 years older than me, so she was an aunt, big sister and friend all in one.
As a kid, I remember her always having time for me. I remember dancing the polka with my dad at her and my Uncle Jim's wedding. And toasting to the bride and groom with my first Shirley Temple cocktail.
I remember lots of love and laughs, especially on birthday's and holidays. We Jablonski's love a good family party! Lot's of food, laughter, love, card playing, dancing and singing. The summer backyard parties at grandma and grandpa J's were epic!!
She and my Aunt Del were especially close. After they were both widows they would take vacations together. The stories they would tell about their adventures would have me laughing until I was crying.
My Aunt Judy was such a special lady. I will miss her terribly, but am consoled by the fact that she was welcomed to her heavenly home by my Uncle Jim, my Aunt Del, my mother and father and the many many friends and family who were waiting for her. RIP my sweet Aunt. You were much loved and will be much missed until we meet again.
