In memory of Doris M. Judd

My mother, Doris, passed this morning at 2:53. She has been very sick for a long time and both my sister and I have been taking care of her. Around easter we noticed a change in her behaviour, after visiting a doctor it was discovered she had multiple brain tumors and lung cancer. She was not in any pain up until the end, passed in her sleep. The past 4 month have been very hard on me, and I choose not to say anything simply because I can't stand pity. It might be a while before I update again, but I will continue to keep this site running hopefully. A special thanks to the people that enabled me to care for my mother while continuing to keep my job (god bless wireless internet and telecommuting). Without the help of them I would never have made it through this. I leave you with one thought, let us hope that we will be remembered not for how we die, but for how we lived.

Dennis,

I've been frequenting your site since working

for Convergys.

I just want to offer my sympathies for your

loss. You and your sister have been good

children, when it was not easy to be so.

Dennis,

I happened by your site today while I was trying to solve some problems with my Speedstream 5861. After reading about your mother, it made me think how trivial my DSL problems were.

I unexpectedly lost my brother earlier this year - he was only 42. I understand your pain. I keep struggling to find the right words to write to you, and find I simply don't have them. Just know that somewhere across the digital divide is a complete stranger who has never met you or your family, yet is thinking good thoughts for all of you, hoping it will somehow ease your pain, even if just a little, or for a moment.

Peace be with you.

Dennis,

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family on the recent passing of your mother! The deepest pain I ever felt was when I sat at my father's bedside, holding his hand as he drew in his last breathe, finally losing his battle with the colon cancer that had spread to his liver and diaphram. As difficult as it was, I am glad my mother and I were both able to be with him at that critical moment. I am glad that your mother did not suffer during her final days, and hope that it will help comfort you in your grief.

With deepest sympathy,

Randy, at CSI Hazelwood
