What a wonderful family you are, surrounding her with love & care. I am glad she is no longer suffering & hope your family is celebrating all her good memories! Carol in nc
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Jani and for continuing Judy's blog. I'm really sorry to hear about Judy. What great family and friends Judy has. I pray I can be as wonderful as all of you have been with Judy for my loved one in the future. Cindy in MO
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of Judy's Passing. I was an avid reader of her blog. There was something about her postings that I found mesmerizing Her statements and photographs of the simple facts of her life, her daily existence - visit with friends and family, trips to the post office, walks with her dogs, medical treatments were all things that I could really relate to on my own adventure with this disease. It's what unites us all. My profound sympathy to all.
ReplyDeleteSo sad, I also followed her blog and will miss her updates and her smile very much, she was always smiling. I admired her inner strength and will to fight. Judy and your family handled this whole situation from start to finish with such dignity and have been such an inspiration and role model for other families in the same situation. Sincere sympathy to you all and Kemmer, I know Kemmer is going to miss her. One of the last photos of her reaching out to pet him made me cry.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss...

So very sorry to hear this.
ReplyDeleteI definitely lost a friend. My condolences to you all. Terry L. from New jersey.
ReplyDeleteJudy was my favorite nursing instructor at UNC. I just heard from another student that she passed and I found this blog. My dad had also passed away from multiple myeloma so I was sad to see this. My thoughts and condolences are with all of you at this time
ReplyDeleteMy hope is that you and your family will receive many stories of the wonderful person you call sister, daughter, friend to sustain you as you prepare to live with her on the Other Side, knowing that she has surely earned a heavenly journey.
ReplyDeleteI am deeply saddened to hear that Judy has passed. She was my absolute favorite nursing instructor at UNC. It is because of her that I became a pediatric nurse. Her compassion, her strength, and her passion for life will live on in the many lives that she touched. Thank you, Judy. You will be missed.
ReplyDeletei'm so sorry to hear that she has passed away, i found this site when searching for information on my 1st Bone Marrow Biopsy (investigate MGUS findgins which now i have Smoldering Myeloma) - JM's info is so helpful for anyone going thru any plasma cell dyscrasia , i haven't been back to the site / blog since last July and again i'm really so sorry to see her passing as with another workup due next week for myself, i came here to this blog to view the usual words of encouragement found within this blog.
ReplyDeleteWe can't thank JM enough for her sharing of info / experience which will still help others in the future for as long as the blog remains online though she has passed away.
