Judy’s family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Timothy Goggins, who was Judy’s Oncologist for 14 years, the entire staff at St. Paul Hospice Service, especially her nurse Jean, and social worker Julie, for all of their care and compassion. Judy was the definition of what a “lady” is. She was kind, patient, elegant and positive in her own special way.
At the same time she was a “trooper” with a positive attitude a strong belief in God. She will be missed by everyone who she came in contact with, as she always left a positive, lasting impression. Avoiding sadness today is like standing in the ocean and avoiding wetness.
Sadness is part and parcel with the experience of the day.
