Dear Angola & Jane: Judy was our son's primary care physician. Our son who is currently 28 deals with paranoid schizophrenia & your mom/sister provided care to him in our home & helped/supported him through a significant health challenge where he finally needed surgery. She was able to establish a trusting relationships with him which was not easy. I knew she was unable to work but was saddened to learn of her death. In the throes of dealing with our own son's illness I feel badly that I was unable to reach out to your mom/sister. She was a gifted practitioner & healer & I am grateful for the roll she played in supporting our son. I know it is only 9 months since her death. My hope is that both of you are finding healing & solace in knowing how much she impacted other's lives in such positive ways. Margo Klipp ([email protected])
