Judy can finally rest...

Update posted by Mary Pat Redgate Kinhart

On November 29, 2016, Judy's oncologist, ICU staff, and very dear friends helped made it clear to me that Judy's kidneys were failing. On top of the way cancer had already ravaged her body, I had to face the reality that Judy was suffering, from MRSA sepsis, with no further hope of recovery.

Being bedridden for the past year had already been a nightmare for Judy. I couldn't force her to endure surviving within that tortured body any longer, especially since the cancer had been also damaging her brain.

Regardless of the doctors' opinions, Judy survived, without life support, for almost 13 hours, before she finally passed on. She was accompanied by her closest friends, Weda, and Vanessa. She is survived by our mother, and me, her sister, as well as many cousins.

My sincere thanks to all who donated money, time, prayers, or good wishes for Judy, and her family
