I knew of Judy and Pete thru the Moose. I will fondly remember attending WOTM Conferences with her and always being able to share a good laugh and a story with her.
She was truly a special lady.

Tammie - My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I am so saddened to learn of your mom's passing. She was a very brave lady with a wonderful, strong spirit and the sweetest patient I've known. I will always treasure the keepsakes she gave me last Christmas. All of us here at Dr. Hagy's office will miss her.
