Donation protected
Hello my name is Katie. I am Judy's youngest daughter. On 01-14-2022 at 9:45am mine and my sisters worlds were crushed when our mother was called up to dance with Elvis in heaven (as she would put it) ,She had been battling COPD for sometime but it eventually won the battle and took her life. Right before Thanksgiving 2021 I took her in for her Covid shot and upon arrival the doctors were talking about admitting her to the hospital due to Failure to Thrive. At that time one of the Emergency room doctors pulled me aside and said that she would be referring her to Hospice immediately and that they would be contacting me.. she spent 3 nights and 4 very long days in ICU during that time Hospice had been in touch with me and I was told the absolute most devastating news in my life,My mother had been given 30 days to live,With my sister by my side we fulfilled almost all of her wishes,She was able to pass peacefully at home with her girls and her beloved kitties by her side,We played "If I Could Dream" by Elvis, one of her many favorite songs,She always told us and her grandkids who called her "Grandma Ladybug" that whenever you see a Ladybug think of me and know I am with you,I hope that who ever is reading this will do the same,The reason I am doing this GoFundMe is because we need help paying for her cremation and services,Anything helps,Please share so we can reach as many of her friends and family as possible,Mom never wanted people to wonder where she went,We want her to rest in peace,she was our world,My sister and I cant express our appreciation enough. Thank you. Katie and Jamie.
