Dear Lou, Joyce, Lewis, Patrick, Andrea, and family:
Our most sincere condolences to each of you and your family of the passing of your beloved wife, mother, and sister, Judy Yacinich, from the players, coaches, faculty and many good friends in the Roosevelt community. It was always a pleasure to see Judys presence and support at the Roosevelt baseball games when her handsome son Patrick coached the Riders Baseball teams. Judy was always so friendly, positive, and upbeat in every way, and offered support and friendship to the players and family members. Our thoughts and prayers will be with each of you in the days that lie ahead. There is no doubt in my mind that Judy is now in heaven, smiling down upon us all.

Lou, Louie, Patrick and Missy, Im so sorry to hear about Judy. She was the best. Of course when we used to have to stay at your house and she fed us brausweigersp) that was disgusting. I loved babysitting all your kids. I loved your family. I remember going to lost island and my sister hooked her in the eyebrow. So many good times. Love you all. Prayers for your family. She was great. (Mimi) Jerry Rileys oldest daughter.

My heartfelt condolences to a wonderful woman and family in your time of mourning.
"May the road rise up to meet you; may the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand." Rest in paradise, Judy. 🙏

I was lucky enough to play for Pat and 40 which meant Mrs.Yacinich was there cheering for Roosevelt and GV! I also remember her braving the 20+ hour bus rides to Florida for our spring break trips! Always had a smile on her face after a game, win or lose with encouraging words or just a pat on the back! Icks sending love to the Yacs and family!

I will remember Mrs. Yacinich as being an enthusiastic supporter at nearly every baseball game at Grand View, both home and away. She even got 40 to apologize to us when he chewed us out after a bad game! She will be missed, my condolences to the whole family.
