Judy’s Story

Site created on August 31, 2020

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Mom was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer last year. She's been getting chemotherapy and wonderful care through her oncologist and care team. Unfortunately, the disease is too widespread and is taking a severe toll on her. She has recently made the decision to stop treatment and transition to hospice care. 

While this is incredibly heartbreaking and we hate the thought of a world without our mom, we know that this is the right decision. Mom deserves to feel better and at peace. Wherever she ends up, she has dear loved ones waiting for her. We have been so lucky to have her as our mom. 

Thank you for visiting and for your thoughts. Thank you for loving our mom. 

Kirsten, Erin, Leah, Brit, and Jeff
